Voltaire, the assumed name of Francois Marie Arouet, was a renowned French man of letters who lived from 1694 to 1778. He is best known for his satirical works such as "Candide" and his philosophical novel "Dr. Pangloss. " Despite facing imprisonment, Voltaire's spirit remained unbroken as he played the cello behind bars, reminiscent of the enigmatic Man in the Iron Mask. His influence on literature and intellectual thought is immortalized in various forms of art. Jean-Antoine Houdon captured his essence through a sculpture that showcases Voltaire's wisdom and wit. John Farleigh's woodcuts for Shaw's works further illustrate Voltaire's impact on subsequent generations. A bronze medallion crafted by G. C. Wachter in 1770 serves as a testament to Voltaire's enduring legacy. In another artwork, an anonymous artist painted Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire around 1800 using tempera on canvas, capturing his vibrant personality. The Theatre Francais pays homage to this literary giant with its new foyer adorned with a marble statue created by Prosper Chabrol. Meanwhile, an oil painting portrays him with striking detail and depth. Known also by his nom de plume Voltaire, Francois-Marie Arouet continues to be celebrated through history. In "Le Dejeuner de Voltaire à Ferney" or "Le Souper des Philosophes, " an unknown creator depicts him surrounded by fellow thinkers engaged in lively discussion. Jean Huber captures another side of this multifaceted figure in their profile portrait titled "Voltaire Seen in Profile. " Finally, a pastel drawing on paper reveals yet another facet of Francois Marie Arouet aka Voltaire - one that exudes both intellect and charm.
