EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Apotheose de Voltaire" takes us back to 19th century France, a time of great historical significance and revolution. The image showcases the profound impact of one man, Voltaire, on French culture and society. In this artwork, we witness the elevation of Voltaire to a god-like status, symbolizing his immense influence as a philosopher and writer during the turbulent period from 1789 to 1848. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this print beautifully captures the essence of French history. The composition is rich in symbolism; it represents not only the apotheosis or deification of Voltaire but also serves as an illustration for George Long's book "France and its Revolutions". This work was published by Charles Knight in 1850. As we delve into this piece further, we are reminded of how revolutions shape nations. The French Revolution brought about significant changes that impacted not only France but also reverberated across Europe. It was during this time that ideas such as liberty, equality, and fraternity took root in society. Through this engraving, we glimpse into a pivotal moment when intellectual thought merged with political upheaval. It reminds us that art has always played a crucial role in capturing historical events and immortalizing influential figures like Voltaire who shaped our world today. This fine art print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its historical significance within French culture.
