Voltaire (1694-1778): A Revolutionary Mind In the vibrant and intellectual atmosphere of 18th-century France, Voltaire emerged as a prominent writer, philosopher, and advocate for justice. Born François-Marie Arouet in 1694, he challenged societal norms through his sharp wit and critical thinking. At Madame Geoffrin's salon, depicted in the captivating oil painting from 1812, we catch a glimpse of Voltaire engaging in stimulating conversations with fellow intellectuals. His presence is felt even more intensely in the detailed section of the painting where he passionately debates ideas that would shape history. While renowned for his literary works like "La Pucelle d'Orleans, " an opera exploring Joan of Arc's controversial examination to prove her virginity, it was Voltaire's unwavering commitment to justice that truly defined him. The engraving depicting this canto highlights his dedication to exposing injustice and fighting against religious intolerance. As seen in various artistic representations such as the marble sculpture from 1778 or the delicate pastel on paper portrait, Voltaire possessed a distinctive appearance characterized by intelligence and determination. These physical depictions capture only a fraction of his immense influence during an era marked by significant political changes. The reception at Elysian Fields immortalized by Henri IV showcases Voltaire amidst influential figures like Louis XIV and Louis XV—a testament to his impact on French society. He fearlessly defended Jean Calas against false accusations leading to execution; destroying not just guillotines but also unjust systems. A powerful engraving from 1764 reveals another facet of Voltaire—his complex relationship with religion. In this artwork alongside a clergyman, we witness their ideological clash while recognizing how deeply faith influenced his philosophical pursuits. Voltaire's legacy extends beyond France; Frederic II de Prusse's roundtable at Sanssouci Palace brought together minds like Christoph Ludwig von Stille and our protagonist.
