Jean-Michel Moreau, often referred to as Moreau le Jeune, was a prominent French illustrator and engraver of the 18th century, renowned for his detailed and expressive works that captured the essence of the Enlightenment era. One of his notable illustrations is "Candide recula trois pas saisi d'horreur," which translates to "Candide recoiled three steps in horror." This illustration is part of a series created for Voltaire's satirical novella "Candide, ou l'Optimisme," first published in 1759.

Moreau's illustration vividly captures a pivotal moment in Voltaire's narrative, where the protagonist, Candide, is confronted with a scene that starkly contrasts with his previously held optimistic beliefs. The artwork is a testament to Moreau's ability to convey complex emotions and dramatic tension through his meticulous engraving technique. His attention to detail and mastery of light and shadow bring the scene to life, allowing viewers to almost feel Candide's shock and disillusionment.

The series of illustrations by Moreau for "Candide" were highly influential and contributed significantly to the visual culture of the Enlightenment. They not only complemented Voltaire's text but also provided a visual commentary that enhanced the reader's experience of the story. Moreau's work is characterized by its elegance and precision, reflecting the artistic trends of the time while also pushing the boundaries of illustration as a form of storytelling.

"Candide recula trois pas saisi d'horreur" remains an important piece in the history of book illustration, showcasing Moreau's skill and the enduring power of visual art to capture and amplify the themes of literary works. Through this illustration, Moreau le Jeune has left an indelible mark on the legacy of "Candide" and the broader landscape of 18th-century French art.
