EDITORS COMMENTS
Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet on November 21, 1694, was a renowned French writer and philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. Known for his wit and skepticism, Voltaire's influence on French literature and philosophy is immeasurable. In this striking portrait, Voltaire, then in his late seventies, is depicted with a serious expression and a well-groomed wig. The intricately designed wig, a symbol of the aristocratic society of the time, frames his face and adds an air of sophistication to the image. The philosopher's piercing gaze and furrowed brow convey a deep sense of introspection and intellectual rigor. Voltaire's career spanned over eight decades, during which he wrote over 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was a vocal critic of the Church and the monarchy, and his satirical works, such as "Candide" and "Gulliver's Travels," challenged the prevailing social norms of his time. Despite facing numerous challenges and persecutions, including imprisonment in the Bastille, Voltaire remained a steadfast advocate for freedom of speech and religious tolerance. His legacy continues to inspire generations of writers, philosophers, and thinkers, and his influence on Western thought is undeniable. This portrait of Voltaire, taken in the late 18th century, captures the essence of a man who defied convention, challenged authority, and left an indelible mark on the intellectual landscape of Europe. With his piercing gaze and well-groomed wig, Voltaire remains a symbol of the Enlightenment's enduring spirit and its commitment to reason and progress.
