EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait captured by Pierre Michel Alix in 1913. The photograph showcases the renowned French philosopher, Francois-Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778), known for his significant contributions to literature and enlightenment thinking. This exquisite print is a reproduction of an original artwork by Jean-Francois Garneray (1755-1837) from the book "French Colour-Prints of the XVIII Century". In this striking image, Voltaire's charismatic personality shines through as he gazes directly at the viewer with a subtle smile on his face. Dressed in elegant baroque attire, including a white wig and an intricately designed jacket, he embodies the essence of 18th-century France. The oval-shaped portrait exudes an air of sophistication and intellectual prowess that perfectly captures Voltaire's role as a writer and philosopher during this era. His profound wit and sharp intellect are beautifully conveyed through Alix's masterful use of color and detail. This print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece, offering us a glimpse into one of history's most influential minds. It invites us to delve into the world of Enlightenment thinking while appreciating the craftsmanship behind this remarkable piece. As we admire this timeless portrayal, we are reminded of Voltaire's enduring legacy as a key figure in shaping French culture and philosophy during the 18th century.
