EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned play "Le Malade Imaginaire" by Moliere, brought to life on canvas by the talented artist Charles Robert Leslie. Painted in oil, this masterpiece is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The image portrays an interior setting filled with satire and humor characteristic of 17th-century French plays. A sickly character, portrayed as a hypochondriac and neurotic patient, pleads and implores his servant for attention. The servant's expression reveals both amusement and exasperation at his master's exaggerated illness. Moliere's play, written in 1673, explores themes of illness and the power dynamics between servants and their masters through satirical elements. This painting beautifully encapsulates these themes with its vivid colors and intricate details. Displayed within this print are not only brushstrokes that bring characters to life but also emotions that resonate with viewers across time. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Moliere's work on both stage and canvas. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the timeless allure of art that transcends boundaries - inviting us into worlds where laughter mingles with social commentary.
