EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures a moment in the rich history of intellectual exchange between France and Prussia, featuring the renowned French writer and philosopher Voltaire (Francois-Marie Arouet) in the company of his esteemed patron, Friedrich II of Prussia, also known as Frederick the Great (1712-1786). The photograph, created by Voltaire Neagle in the late 18th century, depicts the two intellectual giants in an intimate setting, surrounded by the trappings of scholarly pursuits. Voltaire, born in 1694, was a prolific writer and thinker whose works spanned various genres, including history, philosophy, and literature. His wit and skepticism earned him both admiration and controversy, making him a prominent figure in the French Enlightenment. Friedrich II, who ruled Prussia from 1740 until his death, was a patron of the arts and sciences, known for his love of culture and learning. The friendship between the two men began in 1750 when Voltaire visited Potsdam, the Prussian capital, at the invitation of the king. Their intellectual bond deepened over the years, with Voltaire spending extended periods at the royal court. In the photograph, Voltaire is shown wearing a voluminous wig, a common fashion accessory of the time, while Friedrich II is depicted in a more modest, yet regal attire. The table before them is laden with papers and a globe, symbolizing their shared interests in history and geography. The bust of a classical figure in the background adds to the scholarly atmosphere of the scene. This image offers a glimpse into the world of intellectual discourse and patronage during the Age of Enlightenment, highlighting the enduring connection between France and Prussia through the lives of two of their most celebrated figures.
