EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Tony Johannot, featured in the 1836 edition of Moliere's complete works, transports us to the vibrant world of French literature and theater. The scene depicted is from Moliere's renowned play "The Bourgeois Gentleman" where Mr. Jourdain finds himself under the guidance of his music master as he attempts to dance with grace and elegance. Johannot's meticulous attention to detail brings this moment to life, capturing the essence of both comedy and sophistication that Moliere was known for. The characters are beautifully portrayed, their expressions conveying a mix of determination, amusement, and perhaps even a hint of embarrassment. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the lively music playing in the background while Mr. Jourdain clumsily tries to follow his instructor's steps. It is a delightful reminder that even those who aspire to be part of high society must face challenges along their journey. This engraving serves as a testament not only to Moliere's timeless genius but also to Johannot's artistic skill in capturing the spirit of his work. It invites us into an era long gone yet still resonates with its universal themes and humor. Through this image captured by Patrice Cartier, we are reminded once again why Moliere remains one of France's most celebrated playwrights – his ability to entertain audiences through satire while shedding light on human follies continues to captivate hearts centuries later.
