EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the seated sculpture of Voltaire, a renowned French philosopher and writer from the Enlightenment era. Created by Jean-Antoine Houdon, this marble masterpiece captures the essence of Voltaire's wisdom and intellect. In this photograph taken by Adolphe Giraudon in the late 19th century, we see Voltaire sitting with a gentle smile on his face. The image portrays an elderly man who has dedicated his life to pursuing knowledge and advocating for freedom of thought. Voltaire's full-length portrait is adorned with classical drapery, adding a touch of elegance to his presence. His distinguished appearance reflects his status as one of France's most influential intellectuals. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of Voltaire's significant contributions to literature and philosophy. Through his writings, he challenged societal norms and championed reason over superstition. His ideas continue to inspire generations even today.
