EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "George Keate: The Enlightened Friend of Voltaire" George Keate (1729-1797), a man of many talents, is depicted in this portrait. Born in England, Keate was an accomplished writer, artist, and a cherished friend of the renowned French philosopher Voltaire. The year is 1729, and Keate, with his piercing gaze and thoughtful expression, exudes an air of intelligence and creativity. His artistic abilities are evident in the delicate brushstrokes and intricate details of the painting. Keate's literary prowess is also noteworthy, as he was a prolific writer of essays, poems, and translations. However, it is his friendship with Voltaire that sets Keate apart. The two men met in London in the 1750s and quickly formed a bond based on their shared love of literature and intellectual pursuits. Voltaire, who was then in his later years, was deeply impressed by Keate's intelligence and wit, and the two men engaged in numerous intellectual debates and discussions. Keate's connection to Voltaire was not only personal but also professional. He translated several of Voltaire's works into English, including "Candide" and "Zadig," ensuring that the philosopher's ideas reached a wider audience. Keate's translations were highly regarded for their accuracy and literary merit. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who was not only a talented artist and writer but also a devoted friend and cultural bridge between England and France during the Age of Enlightenment. Keate's legacy continues to inspire scholars and artists to this day, as his work and friendship with Voltaire remain an intriguing chapter in the history of intellectual exchange.
