EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Voltaire's Translation to the Pantheon on July 11, 1791," is an idealized depiction of the famous French philosopher and writer, François-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, being carried on a grand carriage across the bridge towards the Pantheon in Paris. The historic event took place on July 11, 1791, when Voltaire's remains were transferred from the Abbey of Scellières to the Pantheon, making him the first non-Catholic to be honored in this hallowed mausoleum. Voltaire is shown as a hero of the French Revolution, surrounded by angels and the trappings of ancient Rome. He is depicted wearing a laurel wreath, symbolizing his literary achievements, and holding a lyre, the instrument of the Muses, representing his poetic genius. The bridge in the background symbolizes the transition from the old regime to the new revolutionary era. The carriage is drawn by four powerful horses, each adorned with revolutionary standards, while the figures on the bridge hold up the banners of the Revolution. Voltaire's body, lying in the carriage, is covered by a white cloth, signifying the respect and reverence accorded to this great man. This print, created around the late 18th or early 19th century, is a testament to Voltaire's enduring influence on French culture and the French Revolution. It is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of ideas and the enduring legacy of a great thinker. The print is a beautiful and moving representation of a historic moment in French history and a tribute to the man who inspired it.
