EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing "The philosophers of the 18th century in the staircase of Voltaire". The image depicts Francois Marie Arouet, famously known as Voltaire, surrounded by esteemed intellectuals and influential figures of his time. Dressed in his iconic dressing gown, Voltaire stands at the top of a grand staircase with Marquis de Villette, Madame Denis, and Gabrielle Emilie de Breteuil (Marquise du Chatelet) by his side. In this scene painted by Chenavard and engraved during the 19th century, we witness Voltaire distributing the slogan "Humanity" to Encyclopedists such as Alembert and Diderot. These renowned thinkers then pass on this message to nobles, elegant ladies, and all those who propagate knowledge throughout society. The composition exudes an air of intellectualism and enlightenment that defined the 18th century. It serves as a visual representation of how ideas were exchanged among these great minds within the walls of Voltaire's residence. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to imagine ourselves standing on that very staircase alongside these luminaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back in time to an era where philosophy thrived and new ideas flourished. This photograph print is not just a work of art but also a testament to human progress through intellectual discourse.
