Image description

Scene based on a real incident: the French satirist Voltaire (1694-1778) has been beaten by the servants of the Duc de Rohan after Voltaire outsmarted him in an argument at dinner. He angrily appeals to the host, the Duc de Sully (seated at the head of the dining table), to challenge the insult. Unfortunately his appeal was in vain.
