Denis Diderot by Louis-Michel van Loo in 1767.
But the statue became the subject of a prank several days ago, with Diderot suffering the indignity of a plastic traffic zone on his head and a wine glass in his hand.
And a close-up of the horror. A few days later I passed on the Boulevard St Germain, but forgot to see if the statue had been restored to its former seriousness.
