EDITORS COMMENTS
Seated Voltaire" by Jean-Antoine Houdon is an exquisite 18th-century plaster sculpture depicting the renowned French philosopher, writer, and historian François Marie Arouet Voltaire. This masterpiece, created between approximately 1779 and 1795, is one of six known versions of the sculpture and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States. Voltaire, born in France in 1694, was a versatile figure of the Enlightenment era. He was an influential dramatist, poet, and playwright, as well as a prolific author and philosopher. His works, filled with wit and satire, challenged the social and political norms of his time. This lifelike sculpture captures Voltaire in a contemplative seated position, with his right hand resting on a book and his left hand holding a quill pen. The sculpture is on a modern painted wood base and is adorned with vestiges of paint and terracotta slip, with metal supports. The intricate details of Voltaire's clothing and facial features are a testament to Houdon's exceptional skill as a sculptor. Houdon, a French artist, was renowned for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects in his sculptures. This Seated Voltaire sculpture is a prime example of his artistry and the enduring influence of Voltaire's legacy. The sculpture's placement in the LACMA collection is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that spans continents and centuries, connecting Europe and America through the shared appreciation of art and literature. Voltaire's profound impact on European thought and culture is evident in this stunning sculpture by Jean-Antoine Houdon. It stands as a testament to the power of the written word and the enduring influence of great thinkers and artists.
