Description
This is a close-up of one of the many sculptures situated at the side of one of the windows in Hotel de Ville in Paris, France.
François-Marie Arouet was known by his nom de plume - Voltaire. He was a French enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher, most famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and separation of church and state. He was also a very versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties, despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day.
