Classify Voltaire.
In 1718 (in this portrait he was 24 years old).

In my opinion he was pred. Dinarid (or maybe borderline between the Dinaric and Noric types, but inclining more on the Dinarid side).

Dinarid/Norid with Alpinoid tendencies possible.

Typical French pseudo-Dinarid.
Real Dinarids are very rare in France but there are lots of fake Dinaromorphics who combine Alpinid traits on a leptomorphic base (North-Atlantid or Nordid).
Voltaire was on the Atlantid side, while another famour French writer of the Enlightenment age, Denis Diderot, was an Alpinised Pseudo-Dinarid on a Nordic basis:

Well, Voltaire was clearly not dolico-mesocephalic but meso-brachycephalic or brachycephalic (you can see his statues and busts). This fact led me to think about a Dinarid and/or Alpinid remarkable influence. His face was quite long, and his nose Dinaromorphic so I think Dinarid/Norid (and not Alpinid) is primarily in him. I can agree with you that there could have been also an Atlantid strain in him. Being his skin quite fair I can advance the hypothesis he could have been a Dinarid/Norid + Atlantid with minor reduced CM (Alpinid). But the Dinaroid features are quite obvious.

From what we have seems Leptoprosopic, with a narrow,shallow jaw and V shaped face, maybe even slight prognathism.
If confirmed brachycefally He probably would be in the Dinaric range (brachycefaly, long mid face section, V shaped face)

Nordid-Dinarid.
