EDITORS COMMENTS
This idealised print depicts the translation of the renowned French philosopher, Voltaire (Francois-Marie Arouet), to the Pantheon in Paris on 11 July 1791. Voltaire, born in 1694, had long been a hero to the French people for his wit, intelligence, and commitment to Enlightenment values. In this historical moment, he was officially recognized as a Hero of the Revolution. In the print, Voltaire is shown reclining in a carriage, surrounded by a crowd of admirers and revolutionaries. He wears a hero's laurel wreath and a mask, symbolizing the anonymous nature of his literary persona. Above him, an angel plays a lyre, signifying the divine inspiration of his works. Two horses pull the carriage, representing the power and momentum of the Revolution. Voltaire's body is being transported to the Pantheon, a symbol of the enduring influence of his ideas and the importance of his legacy. The date "1791" is inscribed at the bottom of the print, marking this moment as a turning point in French history. The Voltaire Belt Design in this print is a symbol of his heroic status, with the belt bearing the inscription "Voltaire, 1778," the year of his death. The image is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of Voltaire's ideas and his role as a pioneer of the Enlightenment movement in France. This print captures the spirit of the Revolution and the reverence for the intellectual giants of the past.
