EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual brilliance and wit of the renowned French philosopher, writer, and satirist, François Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778), in his study between the years 1694 and 1778. The exact creator of this 18th-century oil painting remains unknown, adding to its intriguing allure. Voltaire, dressed in the fashion of the time, dons a green coat and a hat adorned with a feather, giving a glimpse into the era's clothing trends. The oval-shaped canvas, framed in an ornate gold frame, showcases the philosopher in deep thought, with a quill pen in hand and a stack of papers on his desk. Voltaire's study, filled with books and a scrutoire, reflects his professions as a historian, philosopher, dramatist, poet, and satirist. The green color dominating the room adds a calming and intellectual ambiance, creating a perfect setting for Voltaire's introspective moments. The portrait, now a part of the collection at Musée Carnavalet in Paris, invites us to delve deeper into the life and work of one of France's most celebrated figures during the Age of Enlightenment. This historic artwork serves as a testament to Voltaire's enduring legacy and the rich cultural heritage of France.
