EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Francois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire, better known as Voltaire, a prominent figure in 18th-century literature and philosophy. The portrait showcases his intellectual prowess and profound impact on French society. Voltaire is depicted holding his renowned book "La Henriade" published in 1736. This epic poem was not only a literary masterpiece but also served as a vehicle for expressing his political and philosophical ideas. Through his writings, Voltaire challenged the established norms of society, advocating for freedom of thought, religious tolerance, and social justice. The artist behind this remarkable painting is Maurice Quentin de la Tour or Quentin De La Tour (1704-1788). Known for his exquisite pastels, he skillfully captured Voltaire's likeness with incredible detail and precision. Displayed at the Château de Versailles in France, this artwork stands as a testament to Voltaire's enduring legacy. His contributions to literature continue to inspire generations of writers and thinkers worldwide. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of words and ideas that transcend time. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, great minds like Voltaire can still ignite our imagination and challenge us to question societal conventions.
