EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Antoine Furetière, a renowned French writer and lexicographer, born on February 2, 1619, in Paris. Furetière is recognized as one of the Forty Immorals, a prestigious group of forty French literary figures celebrated for their significant contributions to French literature. Furetière's literary career began in the late 1640s, and he quickly gained recognition for his wit and intelligence. He authored numerous works, including "Le Dictionnaire Universel," a comprehensive dictionary that provided definitions for over 14,000 French words. This groundbreaking work was published in 1690 and remains an essential reference for scholars and linguists to this day. Furetière's writing style was characterized by his clever use of language and his ability to satirize the societal norms of his time. He was a prolific writer, producing works on various subjects, such as history, philosophy, and literature. Despite his literary success, Furetière faced numerous challenges throughout his life. He was imprisoned several times for his satirical writings, which often criticized the powerful figures of his day. However, he continued to write and publish, undeterred by the obstacles in his path. Furetière's impact on French literature is immeasurable. His works continue to be studied and celebrated, and his legacy as a writer and lexicographer endures. This portrait, taken in the late 17th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the pursuit of knowledge and the art of language. Antoine Furetière passed away on February 14, 1688, leaving behind a rich literary legacy that continues to inspire and inform scholars and writers alike. This portrait serves as a reminder of his enduring influence on the French literary landscape and the importance of preserving the works of the Forty Immorals for future generations.
