EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century portrait depicts Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778), a renowned French writer, philosopher, and satirist of the Age of Enlightenment. The anonymous artist masterfully captured Voltaire's sharp intellect and wit through the intricacies of this gouache on glass oval gilt wood frame. Voltaire's clothing, fashionable for the time, includes a red coat and a white shirt, with a cravat at his neck. The gilded frame adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to the portrait, reflecting Voltaire's status as a celebrated figure in French literature and philosophy. Voltaire was a prolific writer, contributing to various genres such as plays, poetry, and essays. He was known for his biting satire and his advocacy for religious tolerance and freedom of speech. Voltaire's works were widely read throughout Europe and influenced the development of the Enlightenment. This portrait, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Voltaire's contributions to literature and history. The one-of-a-kind, oval-shaped painting invites us to appreciate the rich heritage of the 18th century and the remarkable man behind the art.
