"Arouet: Unveiling the Life and Legacy of Voltaire" Step into the world of Francois Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, a prominent French man of letters who left an indelible mark on literature and philosophy. Born in 1694, this intellectual giant adopted the pseudonym Voltaire to challenge societal norms and advocate for freedom of thought. Immerse yourself in his presence through Jean-Antoine Houdon's exquisite sculpture, capturing the essence of this influential figure. G. C. Wachter's bronze medallion from 1770 further immortalizes Voltaire's image, showcasing his impact during his lifetime. Arouet's spirit transcends time as seen in a captivating tempera painting from around 1800. The artist masterfully portrays him with depth and complexity, reflecting his multifaceted nature as a writer, philosopher, and social critic. Known by his nom de plume Voltaire, he fearlessly tackled controversial topics through literary works like "Los Caprichos, " where Plate 77 explores human behavior towards one another with biting satire. His pen was mightier than any sword as he challenged established authorities with wit and intellect. Augustin de Saint-Aubin captures Arouet's essence once again in two portraits - one from 1801 depicting him at an older age exuding wisdom gained over years of experience; the other showing him amidst a heated debate involving Freron et la Beaumelle in 1775. Vivant Denon provides us with sketches that offer glimpses into Arouet's life at eighty-one years old - a testament to his longevity and enduring relevance even in old age. The grandeur surrounding Arouet is evident in the decoration of Versailles' theater hall constructed specifically for performances dedicated to him. This lavish setting reflects society's recognition of his contributions to arts and culture. Through various artistic interpretations spanning centuries, Arouet's legacy lives on.
