"Portrait of Voltaire" is an etching and engraving by Dominique Vivant, Baron Denon, commonly known as Vivant Denon, who was a French artist, writer, diplomat, author, and archaeologist. The work depicts the renowned Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher Voltaire, born François-Marie Arouet. Created in the 18th century, this portrait is significant as it captures Voltaire's likeness during his later years, a period when he was celebrated for his wit, advocacy of civil liberties, and criticism of the French establishment.

Vivant Denon, born in 1747 and died in 1825, was a multifaceted figure who played a crucial role in the arts during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era. He is perhaps best known for his role as the first Director of the Louvre Museum, but his artistic contributions, including the "Portrait of Voltaire," also hold historical importance. Denon's portrayal of Voltaire is characterized by its detailed rendering and the insightful depiction of the subject's personality and intellectual spirit.

The etching is notable for its fine lines and attention to detail, reflecting Denon's skill as an engraver. It shows Voltaire seated, draped in a voluminous robe, with his sharp gaze and characteristic smile, suggesting the intellectual's famous satirical edge. The portrait is often referenced in discussions of Voltaire's iconography, as it captures the essence of the philosopher's public image during the Enlightenment.

The "Portrait of Voltaire" by Vivant Denon is not only a work of art but also a document of the era, offering insight into the representation of intellectual figures in the 18th century. It remains a valuable piece for scholars studying the period's art, philosophy, and history, as well as for those interested in the life and legacy of Voltaire. The artwork is held in various collections and has been exhibited in museums that focus on the French Enlightenment and portraiture of the era.
