EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1786, offering a glimpse into the picturesque village of Ferney near Geneva, Switzerland. The focal point of this enchanting scene is the magnificent chateau where one of France's most influential writers and proponents of Enlightenment, Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire, settled after 1758. The chateau stands proudly amidst a beautifully manicured garden, showcasing its grandeur and architectural elegance. Its stately presence reflects the profound impact that Voltaire had on literature, philosophy, and society during the 18th century. As we peer through time with this monochrome engraving from The European Magazine in London, we can almost imagine Voltaire himself wandering through these very grounds. This was not just a mere residence for him; it was his sanctuary—a place where he could contemplate life's complexities and pen his revolutionary ideas. Voltaire's occupation as a writer is palpable in every corner of this country house. It emanates from the walls adorned with books to the tranquil ambiance that surrounds it. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy—his words continue to inspire generations even today. With each stroke of ink on paper captured by Ann Ronan Pictures' anonymous artist, we are transported back in time—to an era when intellectual enlightenment flourished within these hallowed walls.
