Antique Engraving of George Buchanan Scottish Historian & Political Theorist

Original antique engraving of George Buchanan (1506–1582), famed Scottish humanist scholar, political thinker, and tutor to King James VI. Best known for “De Jure Regni apud Scotos”, Buchanan was a pioneer of ideas on constitutional monarchy and resistance to tyranny, influencing later Enlightenment thought. This portrait, executed in a neoclassical medallion format, likely dates from the 17th or early 18th century and reflects Buchanan’s enduring legacy as one of Scotland’s greatest intellectuals.
A rare and significant piece for collectors of Scottish history, Renaissance humanism, and political philosophy.
