EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual brilliance and wit of François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume Voltaire, one of the most influential figures in French literature and philosophy. The painting, created by the renowned French artist Jean-Baptiste Largillière in 1733, portrays Voltaire at the height of his literary career. Voltaire, born in Paris in 1694, was a prolific writer, producing works in various genres including poetry, plays, essays, and novels. He is perhaps best known for his satirical novels, such as "Candide," and his philosophical treatises, which challenged the established religious and political norms of his time. The portrait shows Voltaire in a relaxed pose, dressed in a simple robe and holding a quill pen and inkwell, symbolizing his status as a writer. His piercing gaze and expressive face convey a sense of intelligence, curiosity, and intensity. The background, featuring a bookshelf filled with volumes, emphasizes his vast knowledge and erudition. Largillière's masterful use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast between Voltaire's illuminated face and the dark background, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject. The artist's meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate folds of Voltaire's robe to the realistic rendering of the books and inkwell, adds to the authenticity and depth of the portrait. This portrait of Voltaire by Largillière is a testament to the enduring legacy of two of the greatest minds in French history. It offers a glimpse into the world of Enlightenment thought and the intellectual ferment of the 18th century, making it an invaluable historical document and a work of art in its own right.
