EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire" painted by William Blake in 1800, captures the essence of one of France's most influential Enlightenment thinkers. The tempera on canvas artwork measures 51x79 cm and is housed at the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the United Kingdom. Voltaire, born Francois-Marie Arouet in 1694, was renowned for his sharp wit and fearless critiques of the Catholic Church. As a freemason writer, historian, and philosopher, he advocated passionately for freedom of religion, expression, and the separation of church and state. In this painting by Blake, we see Voltaire depicted with great detail and precision. His distinguished features are highlighted against an ornate backdrop that showcases symbols representing his literary contributions to French society. The artist skillfully combines neoclassical elements with romanticist touches to capture both Voltaire's intellectual prowess and charismatic personality. The border surrounding the portrait adds further depth to this masterpiece. It incorporates trompe l'oeil techniques that create an illusionary effect while paying homage to classical art forms. Through this artwork, Bridgeman Images invites us into a world where literature meets visual representation. It serves as a reminder of Voltaire's enduring legacy as a figure who challenged societal norms through his fictional works and biographical writings. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire - an icon whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of enlightenment today.
