jean-michel moreau (1741 - 1814)
Jean-Michel Moreau, also known as Moreau le Jeune (the Younger), was a French artist, painter, illustrator and engraver.
He worked in the typical 18th-century Rococo style, creating paintings for later engraving, but most of his surviving work is book illustration. Moreau also created genre compositions on the entertainment of Louis XV and Madame Dubarry, later Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. He painted portraits of members of the royal family from life in charcoal, chalk and pastel.
Jean-Michel Moreau created a large body of work on period costumes, accurately reproducing their details, which is a valuable source for today's costume designers and art historians.

Voltaire, born François Marie Arouet, was a French philosopher-enlightener of the French Enlightenment, poet and writer, satirist, tragedian, historian and essayist.
Voltaire's long life fell on the last years of classicism and the eve of the revolutionary era, and in this transitional period his works and activities had a significant impact on the direction of European civilization. Through his critical freethinking and wit, Voltaire won the minds of many 18th century European rulers. To this day, he continues to enjoy worldwide fame as a courageous fighter against tyranny, bigotry, and cruelty.
Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion and separation of church and state. He was a versatile and prolific writer in all literary forms, including plays, poems, novels, essays, histories, and scholarly expositions. In total, he wrote more than 20,000 letters and 2,000 books and pamphlets. Voltaire's most famous works are the tragic play Zaire, the historical study The Age of Louis XIV, and the satirical novella Candide.
