Catherine Lusurier d'après N. de Largillière, François-Marie Arouet, dit Voltaire (château de Versailles)
Summary
Depicted person: François-Marie Arouet (1694–1778), known as Voltaire, French Enlightenment writer and philosopher
Largilliere's portraits were much sought after by the aristocracy and bourgeoisie, and he painted many members of the French court, including the king and his family. His style was characterised by a sense of grandeur and elegance, and he often depicted his sitters in richly detailed costumes and luxurious surroundings. In addition to his portraits, Largilliere also painted religious and mythological scenes, as well as landscapes and still lifes. He was an accomplished draughtsman and his drawings are highly regarded for their precision and delicacy. Largilliere's career spanned more than six decades and he continued to paint until his death at the age of 90. Today, his works can be found in museums and private collections around the world, including the Louvre in Paris, the National Gallery in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
