Charles Augustin de Ferriol, Comte d'Argental, was a prominent French diplomat and literary figure in the 18th century. Born on December 20, 1700, in Paris, he was the son of Charles Auguste Ferriol, Comte d'Argental, and Marie-Angélique de Tencin. D'Argental is best known for his close friendship and extensive correspondence with the Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire, whom he supported and advised throughout his career.

D'Argental's diplomatic career was marked by his service as an ambassador to various European courts, where he played a significant role in fostering Franco-European relations. His diplomatic acumen and ability to navigate the complex political landscape of the time earned him respect and recognition among his contemporaries.

In addition to his diplomatic endeavors, d'Argental was a passionate patron of the arts and literature. He was an active member of the French literary community and maintained close relationships with many of the leading intellectuals of the Enlightenment. His extensive correspondence with Voltaire, which spanned several decades, provides valuable insights into the intellectual and cultural milieu of the period.

D'Argental's support for Voltaire was unwavering, and he often acted as an intermediary between the philosopher and the French authorities, helping to secure the publication of Voltaire's works and protect him from persecution. This close relationship was mutually beneficial, as Voltaire's writings often reflected the ideas and values that d'Argental championed.

Charles Augustin de Ferriol, Comte d'Argental, passed away on January 5, 1788, leaving behind a legacy of diplomatic achievements and contributions to the Enlightenment. His life and work continue to be studied by historians and scholars interested in the intellectual and cultural history of 18th-century France.
