EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable marble sculpture of Francois-Marie Arouet, famously known as Voltaire. Created by the talented Jean-Baptiste Pigalle in 1776, this masterpiece stands tall at 1.5 meters in the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The sculpture captures the essence of Voltaire's intellectual prowess and philosophical spirit. With intricate details carved into every inch, it is a testament to both Pigalle's skill as an artist and Voltaire's significance as a thinker. Voltaire appears naked in this portrayal, symbolizing his vulnerability and openness to ideas. His slender figure reflects his dedication to knowledge and pursuit of truth during the Enlightenment period. As one of history's greatest philosophers, Voltaire played a crucial role in shaping society through his writings on freedom of speech, religious tolerance, and human rights. This sculpture serves as a powerful reminder of his enduring legacy. Through this photograph, we are transported back to the 18th century – an era often referred to as "the century of light". It was during this time that thinkers like Voltaire challenged traditional beliefs and championed reason over superstition. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by intellectual history, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its depiction of one of humanity's most influential minds.
