Je me suis servi sans cesse de ces renseignements particuliers, quoique toujours avec discr???tion, pour donner de la vitalit??? a mon oeuvre, pour colorer le tableau, pour animer la statue, pour ne laisser dans l'ombre aucune des faces de la grande figure historique que je me suis efi'orc??? d'???lever sur son pi???destal, en un mot, pour repr???senter l'homme a c???t??? du souverain. La plus grande difficult??? de ce travail, disait Voltaire (17 juillet 1758) en parlant de son Pierre le Grand, consistera ??? le rendre int???ressant pour toutes les nations.
