EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed French philosopher and writer, Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire. Created by the talented artist Maurice Quentin de La Tour, this pastel on paper masterpiece captures the essence of Voltaire's intellectual prowess and deep contemplation. The portrait measures 26.5x18 cm and is housed in the Nationalmuseum Stockholm, Sweden. Its delicate strokes and soft colors bring forth a sense of elegance and sophistication that perfectly embodies the Age of Enlightenment in which Voltaire thrived. Voltaire, known for his wit, satire, and philosophical ideas, played a significant role in shaping French literature during his time. His writings challenged societal norms and advocated for freedom of thought and expression. In this portrait, we see Voltaire's face adorned with wisdom lines that reflect a life well-lived. The intensity in his eyes suggests an unyielding determination to challenge authority while seeking truth through reason. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of Voltaire's enduring legacy as one of France's most influential thinkers. This print serves as a timeless homage to an extraordinary man who fearlessly pushed boundaries to shape our understanding of literature, philosophy, and human rights during the Enlightenment era.
