EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the final scene of Moliere's renowned play, Les Fourberies de Scapin. Painted by Eugene Deveria in the 19th century, this oil on canvas artwork is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Pau, France. Les Fourberies de Scapin tells a tale of arranged marriages and is particularly famous for its hilarious scene where the cunning character Scapin convinces old Geronte to hide inside a sack and be beaten. The play showcases elements of commedia dell'arte, with vibrant costumes adorned with stripes that add an extra layer of visual appeal. In this particular image, we see characters such as Octave, Leandre, Zerbinette, Hyacinte (Hyacinthe), Argante (father), and his proud daughters. The composition beautifully captures their expressions and gestures as they engage in persuasive conversations. The painting not only highlights the comedic aspects of Moliere's work but also showcases Deveria's skillful brushwork and attention to detail. Each character comes to life through their distinct personalities portrayed through their costumes and facial expressions. As we admire this stunning piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back to a time when theater was celebrated for its wit and entertainment value. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, Moliere's plays continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their timeless humor and social commentary.
