EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Seated Statue of Voltaire, a remarkable masterpiece sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle in 1776. Standing tall at a height of 150 cm, this marble creation can be found in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The statue depicts the renowned French writer, philosopher, and novelist François Marie Arouet de Voltaire. Known for his wit and intellectual prowess, Voltaire's influence on literature and philosophy is immeasurable. In this sculpture, he is portrayed as an elderly man with a contemplative expression on his face. Pigalle's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of the statue. The artist skillfully captures both the vulnerability and strength of Voltaire's character through his expertly carved features. The nudity adds an element of rawness to the piece, symbolizing Voltaire's unapologetic pursuit of truth and freedom of thought. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance that was Voltaire. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of his literary contributions but also as an inspiration for all writers and thinkers alike.
