EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Elie Catherine Freron, a prominent French journalist, literary critic, and polemist. Created by Edmond Morin, an acclaimed artist of his time, this eau-forte (etching) beautifully portrays Freron's intellectual prowess and influential persona. At the center of the image lies Freron's renowned work "Annee Litteraire" symbolized by a book that holds great significance in his career. The engraving also features a serpent intertwined with Voltaire's infamous epigrammatic formula. This clever inclusion represents Freron's sharp wit and ability to engage in intellectual battles with esteemed figures like Voltaire himself. The top of the engraving showcases Voltaire holding an arrow in his hand, hinting at their fierce rivalry. It evokes curiosity about what transpired when Jean Freron was provoked by a snake deep within a valley. Surprisingly enough, it was the snake that met its demise rather than Jean Freron. Through this thought-provoking artwork captured expertly by Gusman and presented here by Patrice Cartier from Fine Art Finder, viewers are invited to delve into the complex world of 18th-century journalism and literary criticism. It serves as a reminder of Elie Catherine Freron's significant contributions to French literature while highlighting the power dynamics between intellectuals during that era. With each glance at this mesmerizing portrait print, one can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand the intellectual fervor that defined an entire generation.
