EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Voltaire's house at Ferney, a sanctuary that provided respite from the relentless persecution he faced. The renowned French philosopher and writer, Voltaire (1694-1778), sought refuge in this magnificent chateau to escape harassment from both the Genevese and the French. The image showcases the grandeur of this historical residence with its stunning facade and remarkable architecture. It stands as a testament to Voltaire's enduring legacy, symbolizing his intellectual prowess and unwavering spirit. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness where Voltaire lived for two decades, from 1758 until his passing in 1778. This was not merely a house; it was a haven for creativity, contemplation, and family life. The photographer skillfully captures every detail of the exterior view, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of this iconic structure. Through their lens, they have immortalized an important piece of history that continues to inspire generations. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing due to its out-of-copyright status. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us with great minds who shaped our world. Let us cherish this glimpse into Voltaires' extraordinary life through Ken Welsh's masterful photography.
