EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French philosopher, Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire, in an intimate setting at his residence in Ferney. Engraved by Joseph Friedrich Rein during the 18th century, this portrait captures Voltaire's intellectual prowess and creative spirit. Seated at a table with a bonnet atop his head and a wig framing his face, Voltaire is depicted engrossed in his work. The oval-shaped frame emphasizes his profile as he diligently reads and writes using a quill pen and inkpot. Surrounding him are books that reflect his status as a prolific writer, author, and playwright of the Enlightenment era. The interior of Voltaire's home exudes an air of sophistication and scholarly pursuits. The intricate cartouche adds an elegant touch to the overall composition while symbolizing Voltaire's influence on French society during this period. This remarkable engraving not only immortalizes one of history's most influential thinkers but also offers us a glimpse into the private world where he cultivated ideas that challenged societal norms. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of Voltaire's enduring legacy as both a champion for reason and freedom of thought.
