EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of the renowned French writer, essayist, and philosopher Francois Marie Arouet De Voltaire. The image captures his intellectual essence and profound influence on the Enlightenment era. Created in 1933 by an unknown artist, this portrait is a reproduction of a miniature painting originally crafted by Louis Cheron. Voltaire, born in 1694 and passing away in 1778, is best known for his masterpiece "Candide". His literary works challenged societal norms and advocated for freedom of thought, religious tolerance, and social justice. This striking image perfectly encapsulates Voltaire's charismatic persona as he gazes confidently into the distance. The photograph comes from "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a remarkable book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures of influential figures throughout history spanning four centuries. Produced in Germany during the 1930s, this collection offers glimpses into important personalities who shaped our world. With its oval shape and vibrant colors, this print beautifully preserves Voltaire's legacy while paying homage to both his time period - the eighteenth century - and its modern interpretation during the twentieth century. As we admire this exceptional piece of artistry today, it serves as a reminder of Voltaire's enduring impact on literature and philosophy that continues to inspire generations worldwide.
