The Levee of Voltaire at Ferney - A Glimpse into the Morning Routine of a Brilliant Mind
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures an intimate moment in the life of one of history's greatest minds, François-Marie Arouet, famously known as Voltaire. Painted by Jean Huber, this oil on canvas masterpiece takes us back to 18th-century France and offers a glimpse into the daily routine of this renowned French author, philosopher, and writer. In this scene, we find ourselves inside Voltaire's bedroom at his residence in Ferney. The soft morning light gently illuminates the room as he rises from his slumber. With his loyal dog by his side, he stands before a grand secretary desk where he diligently writes down his thoughts and ideas that have captivated generations. As we observe closely, it becomes evident that even during these private moments, Voltaire is never alone. His presence exudes intellectual energy and creative inspiration. Perhaps it is through dictating to a trusted assistant or engaging in deep contemplation that he refines his groundbreaking works. The attention to detail in Huber's painting transports us back in time; every brushstroke brings forth the essence of Voltaire's character and genius. This image serves as a reminder not only of the incredible contributions made by this influential figure but also highlights the importance of discipline and dedication required for true greatness.
