EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor portrait depicts the renowned French writer Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet) (1694-1778) in the company of Baron Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825). The painting, created in the vertical, insides of the Musée de Carnavalet in Paris, France, showcases the intellectual camaraderie between two of the most influential figures of the French Enlightenment. Denon, a prominent art collector and diplomat, is known for his role in assembling the art collection of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Here, he is portrayed in a casual, relaxed pose, with a warm smile and a quill pen in hand, suggesting his involvement in literary pursuits. Voltaire, on the other hand, is depicted in a more serious manner, with a furrowed brow and a thoughtful expression. The renowned author, philosopher, and historian is famously known for his wit, satire, and advocacy for religious tolerance and freedom of speech. The interior setting of the Musée de Carnavalet, with its ornate furnishings and intricate details, serves as a fitting backdrop for this intriguing scene. The use of vibrant colors and the up-right composition of the painting adds to its dynamic and engaging nature, making it a captivating representation of the intellectual and artistic milieu of 18th-century France.
