EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Voltaire" by Maurice-Quentin de La Tour, dates back to the 1740s and offers a glimpse into the enlightened mind of one of the most influential figures of the eighteenth century. The subject of the portrait is Francois Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, a French writer, philosopher, and historian. Voltaire was a versatile man of letters who excelled in various genres, including drama, literature, and poetry. His direct gaze and expressive face convey a sense of intelligence, wit, and introspection, reflecting his profound understanding of human nature and the complexities of the world around him. The portrait is a pastel on paper, executed in the Rococo style, which was popular during the eighteenth century. The use of color and the subtlety of the shading add depth and texture to the image, bringing Voltaire's body and facial features to life. The location of the painting is unknown, but it is now part of the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire scholars and historians. Voltaire's legacy as a philosopher, playwright, and poet continues to shape our understanding of the Enlightenment era and the human condition. His direct gaze and the intensity of his expression invite us to ponder the complexities of the human mind and the power of the written word. This portrait is not just a historical artifact but a testament to the enduring influence of one of the greatest minds in history.
