专家说明

Hugo Grotius (1583 -1645) or Hugo de Groot was an intellectual prodigy who, at the age of 16 - around the time of this portrait - was appointed advocate in The Hague and had published his first book. He became the leading legal scholar of his age and the first to formulate the idea of the rule of law between states and nations, and thus laid the theoretical foundations for the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years' War.
