The Prayer of Voltaire
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating coloured engraving that transports us back to the 18th century, capturing the essence of one of France's most influential figures. In this portrait, we see François-Marie Arouet, famously known as Voltaire, seated with an air of contemplation and wisdom. As a renowned author, novelist, writer, and philosopher, Voltaire played a significant role in shaping the Enlightenment era. The image beautifully portrays Voltaire's intellectual prowess and his dedication to seeking truth and knowledge. With his raised arm symbolizing inspiration and enlightenment itself, he appears deep in thought as if communing with higher ideas. The vibrant red hues surrounding him evoke passion and intensity while also representing the fiery spirit that fueled his writings. This print not only captures the physical likeness of Voltaire but also encapsulates the spirit of an entire epoch - le Siècle des Lumières or Age of Enlightenment. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Voltaire challenged societal norms through their intellect and paved the way for progress. As we gaze upon this artwork from www. bridgemanimages. com courtesy of Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; it invites us to reflect on our own pursuit for knowledge and understanding. It reminds us that even centuries later, great minds continue to inspire us with their unwavering curiosity about life's mysteries.
