EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Jean Baptiste Poquelin dit Moliere's renowned play, "Don Juan". In act 5, scene 7, we witness the climactic encounter between Don Juan and the statue of the Commander. Rendered in exquisite detail by Pierre Gustave Eugene Staal in this late 19th-century edition Garnier engraving, the image evokes a sense of both awe and terror. The composition centers around the haunting figure of the statue as it takes hold of Don Juan's hand, sealing his fate and condemning him to hell. The intensity is palpable as Sganarelle looks on in horror, his face etched with disbelief at witnessing such an otherworldly spectacle. Staal's masterful technique brings every nuance to life - from the intricate folds of Don Juan's clothing to the ethereal glow surrounding the supernatural entity. The engraving by Massard and Delannoy adds depth and texture to this already mesmerizing piece. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to experience Moliere's timeless tale through visual artistry. It serves as a testament to both Moliere's genius storytelling and Staal's artistic prowess. This photograph is not just an image frozen in time; it is a window into a world where morality clashes with temptation and divine justice prevails.
