"Portrait of Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle (1657-1757)" is a lithographic work by François Séraphin Delpech, a French lithographer known for his portraits of prominent figures of his time. The portrait depicts Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle, a renowned French polymath and author, who made significant contributions to the popularization of science during the Enlightenment. Fontenelle was a prolific writer and is particularly remembered for his work "Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds" (Entretiens sur la pluralité des mondes), which facilitated the understanding of scientific concepts among the educated public.

Delpech's lithograph captures Fontenelle later in life, reflecting his intellectual stature and the respect he garnered over his long career. The portrait is executed with the fine detail and clarity characteristic of Delpech's lithographic technique, which contributed to the medium's growing popularity in the early 19th century. Delpech's works were instrumental in documenting the visages of many cultural and intellectual luminaries of his era, and this portrait of Fontenelle stands as a testament to the artist's skill in portraiture and the enduring legacy of the Enlightenment's champions.

The "Portrait of Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle" not only serves as a historical record of an influential thinker but also exemplifies the art of lithography, which was a relatively new printmaking process at the time. Delpech's contribution to this medium helped to solidify its place in the art world, offering a new means of reproducing images and disseminating the likenesses of notable individuals to a wider audience.
