Jost Amman (1539 Zurich - 1591 Nuremberg): Portrait of John Locke Historical portrait of the important scholar in a decorative oval frame, 16th century, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper, mounted on Paper (green) Inscription: Lower right signed in the printing plate: "Joh. Aman scul. Scaphu". Date: 16th century Description: The artwork shows the portrait of a distinguished man in a magnificent oval frame surrounded by elaborate decorations. The symbol underneath indicates a high social rank. The depiction conveys dignity and intellect. Person: Depicted: John Locke (1632 Wrington near Bristol - 1704 Oates, Epping Forest, Essex) English physician and influential philosopher and pioneer of the Enlightenment. Locke is generally regarded as the father of liberalism. Together with Newton and Hume, he is the main representative of British empiricism and was of the opinion that all knowledge is based solely on experience. Alongside Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), he is also one of the most important theorists of contract in the early Age of Enlightenment. His political philosophy significantly influenced the Declaration of Independence of the United States, the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of revolutionary France and, via this route, most of the constitutions of liberal states. In his work Two Treatises of Government, Locke argues that a government is only legitimate if it has the consent of the governed and protects the natural rights of life, liberty and property. If these conditions are not met, the subjects have a right to resist the rulers.
