"The Baron saluted Candide with some notable kicks on the breech and drove him out of doors" is an illustration by Jean-Michel Moreau, also known as Moreau le Jeune, a prominent French illustrator and engraver of the 18th century. This artwork is a visual representation of a scene from Voltaire's satirical novella "Candide," first published in 1759. The illustration captures the moment when the protagonist, Candide, is violently expelled from the Baron's castle after his love for the Baron's daughter, Cunégonde, is discovered.

Jean-Michel Moreau's illustration is notable for its detailed and expressive depiction of the characters and their emotions, as well as its contribution to the visual culture of the Enlightenment. The artwork is a fine example of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during Moreau's time, characterized by elaborate ornamentation, refined elegance, and a lightness of touch. Moreau's work on "Candide" is part of a larger body of illustrations that helped to popularize Voltaire's writings, bringing the story's satirical critique of society and its institutions to a broader audience through visual means.

The illustration not only serves as a historical artifact of 18th-century French art but also as a testament to the enduring relevance of Voltaire's "Candide" in the cultural imagination. It reflects the period's artistic movements and the role of illustration in enhancing literary works, making the stories more accessible and engaging for contemporary readers. Jean-Michel Moreau's contributions to book illustration are considered significant, and his works remain studied and appreciated for their artistic merit and historical value.
