EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Voltaire" captured from a drawing by Denon on July 6th, 1775. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this renowned French philosopher, Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778). In this half-length portrait, we see an elderly Voltaire seated with his distinguished wig, emanating wisdom and intellect. His tondo-shaped frame adds a touch of elegance to the composition while emphasizing his prominence as a writer and author during the Enlightenment era. Voltaire's enigmatic smile hints at his sharp wit and satirical nature that made him one of history's most influential thinkers. Known for challenging societal norms through his plays and philosophical works, he became synonymous with intellectual freedom. The photograph transports us back in time to Ferney, where Voltaire spent much of his life passionately advocating for human rights, religious tolerance, and freedom of speech. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a champion of reason and enlightenment. Displayed in Musee de la Ville de Paris at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France; this engraving is a treasured piece that immortalizes Voltaire's contributions to literature and philosophy. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the man himself but also of the profound impact he had on shaping our modern world.
