EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Voltaire is not happy with Achille Lemot" captures a powerful caricature on the Francs Macons, created by the talented artist Achille Lemot. The engraving, dating back to 1909, showcases Jeanne of Arc's revenge on her insultor - the incredulous philosopher of the 17th century and his imitators. In this thought-provoking image, we witness Voltaire himself expressing his discontentment towards Achille Lemot's portrayal. The intricate details in this artwork highlight the tension between these historical figures and shed light on their conflicting ideologies. The composition skillfully combines elements of French history and symbolism. Joan of Arc, a symbol of strength and resilience, stands tall as she seeks retribution for any insults directed at her. Meanwhile, Voltaire represents Enlightenment thinking and skepticism. Through this visual narrative, we are transported to a pivotal moment in history where ideas clashed and beliefs were challenged. This photograph serves as a reminder that even great thinkers like Voltaire faced opposition from those who disagreed with their philosophies. Leonard de Selva expertly captured this engraving in all its glory, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we delve into the complexities depicted within this image – including French culture, Freemasonry references, and significant historical figures – we gain insight into an era known as the "Century of Light.
