Painted by Maurice Quentin de la Tour, this oil on canvas print showcases her intellectual prowess and scholarly pursuits. Madame du Chatelet-Lomont was not just a pretty face; she was a French mathematician, physicist, and author who made significant contributions to these fields. As the mistress of Voltaire, she also played an influential role in his life and work. In this portrait, we see her surrounded by symbols of knowledge and learning. Holding a book in one hand and dividers in the other, she exudes an air of confidence and intelligence. A compass rests on the table beside her, symbolizing her exploration into scientific discoveries. The armillary sphere behind her further emphasizes her passion for astronomy and celestial mechanics.
