"Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78)" is a pastel portrait by the French artist Maurice Quentin de La Tour, created in 1753. The portrait depicts the renowned Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was a seminal figure of the Enlightenment era and significantly influenced the intellectual and cultural development of Europe. De La Tour, known for his mastery in pastel technique and portraiture, captures Rousseau in a moment of introspection, reflecting the philosopher's complex character and revolutionary ideas that challenged the social and political norms of the 18th century.

The portrait is notable for its expressive realism and the delicate use of pastel, which allows for a vivid rendering of Rousseau's features and a sense of immediacy. De La Tour's skillful handling of light and shadow brings a three-dimensional quality to the work, emphasizing the psychological depth of the subject. The artwork is a prime example of the Rococo style, characterized by its elegance, colorfulness, and ornate qualities, yet it also conveys a sense of the sitter's personal austerity and the sober intellectual climate of the period.

Held in high esteem for its artistic and historical significance, "Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78)" by Maurice Quentin de La Tour is an important piece in the oeuvre of one of the 18th century's most celebrated portraitists. The portrait not only provides insight into Rousseau's persona but also serves as a testament to the cultural and philosophical milieu that shaped the Age of Enlightenment. Today, the portrait is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
