With his sculptural busts, Jean-Antoine Houdon contributed as no other to the image that we now have of the major actors of the Enlightenment. Whatever the differences between the faces Houdon represented between 1764 and 1791, all radiate the acuity of his spirit of observation and his visionary artistic sensibility.
