EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving, created in 1778 by Daniel Chodowiecki, transports us back to the enchanting world of Voltaire's "Candide" in 18th century Paris, France. The intricate details and masterful strokes of this print bring to life the vibrant scene depicted within. In the heart of bustling Paris, we find ourselves amidst a lively gathering where men and women are engaged in an intense card game. The room is adorned with exquisite furniture and a magnificent chandelier that casts a warm glow upon the players. As candles flicker delicately on the table, their light illuminates the faces of those engrossed in this intellectual pursuit. The characters portrayed here are none other than Candide himself and his companions from Voltaire's renowned novel. Their animated expressions reveal their passion for both literature and gaming as they immerse themselves in this intellectual duel. Chodowiecki's illustration captures not only the essence of these iconic literary figures but also provides us with a glimpse into French society during this era. It serves as a testament to François-Marie Arouet's (Voltaire) ability to intertwine satire with social commentary. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we cannot help but be transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the wit, humor, and philosophical depth that made "Candide" one of history's most celebrated works.
