EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print depicts the renowned French writer, philosopher, and novelist Voltaire (1694-1778). Created by an anonymous artist from the 18th century French School, this portrait captures the essence of Voltaire's intellectual prowess and charismatic presence. Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet, is shown in a dignified oval frame wearing a distinctive wig that was fashionable during his time. The attention to detail in this lithograph highlights his refined features and piercing gaze, reflecting his sharp intellect and deep contemplation. As one of the most influential figures of the Enlightenment era, Voltaire played a pivotal role in shaping European literature and philosophical thought. His works challenged established norms and advocated for freedom of speech, religious tolerance, and social justice. Through his writings such as "Candide" and "Letters Concerning the English Nation" he fearlessly critiqued societal injustices while championing reason over superstition. This striking portrait serves as a testament to Voltaire's enduring legacy as both an esteemed author and a fearless advocate for human rights. It invites us to delve into his vast body of work that continues to inspire generations with its wit, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to truth. Displayed here within a private collection but made available through Ken Welsh at Fine Art Finder website courtesy of Bridgeman Images; this remarkable litho print offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history by capturing the essence of one of France's greatest literary minds.
