Maurice Quentin de La Tour's "Portrait of Voltaire" is a celebrated pastel artwork created in the 18th century. La Tour, a prominent French Rococo portraitist, was renowned for his ability to capture the essence and personality of his subjects with remarkable detail and vibrancy. This particular portrait depicts the eminent Enlightenment writer and philosopher Voltaire, whose real name was François-Marie Arouet.

Voltaire was a leading figure of the Enlightenment, known for his wit, advocacy of civil liberties, and criticism of the established religious and political institutions of his time. La Tour's portrait captures Voltaire in a thoughtful pose, with a slight smile that hints at his sharp intellect and humor. The artist's use of pastel allowed for a soft yet vivid representation, highlighting Voltaire's expressive features and the texture of his clothing.

The portrait is notable for its lifelike quality and the way it conveys Voltaire's dynamic personality. La Tour's skillful use of color and light brings a sense of immediacy and presence to the work, making it one of the most recognized images of Voltaire. The artwork is housed in the Musée Antoine Lécuyer in Saint-Quentin, France, where it continues to be admired by visitors and art historians alike.

La Tour's ability to capture the spirit of the Enlightenment through his portraits has cemented his reputation as one of the leading portraitists of his time. His depiction of Voltaire not only serves as a visual record of one of history's great thinkers but also as a testament to the artistic innovation and cultural vibrancy of 18th-century France. This portrait remains an important piece for understanding both the individual it represents and the broader intellectual movement of the Enlightenment.
