EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in French literature - the collaboration between two legendary playwrights, Jean Baptiste Moliere and Pierre Corneille. The engraving, created by Jean-Leon Gerome in 1875, beautifully depicts this encounter. In the image, we see Moliere and Corneille seated at a table engrossed in conversation. Their animated gestures suggest an intense discussion about their craft. The atmosphere is filled with creativity and intellectual energy as these literary giants exchange ideas. Moliere, known by his birth name Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622-1673), was a master of comedy who revolutionized French theater with his witty plays. On the other hand, Pierre Corneille (1606-1684) was celebrated for his tragic dramas that explored complex human emotions. The presence of a crow perched on the table adds an intriguing element to the composition. Symbolically representing wisdom and intelligence, it seems to observe this extraordinary collaboration unfold before its eyes. This engraving not only pays homage to these influential figures but also serves as a reminder of their enduring impact on French literature. It invites us to appreciate their genius and reflect on how their works continue to shape theatrical artistry today. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness this significant meeting between two literary titans - Moliere and Corneille - forever immortalized through art.
