EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Tony Johannot, we are transported to the world of Moliere's Le bourgeois gentilhomme. The scene depicted is Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy but naive man, becoming infuriated with his servant Nicole who cannot contain her laughter at his new costume. Johannot's intricate detailing brings the characters to life, capturing Monsieur Jourdain's exasperation as he gestures angrily towards Nicole while she struggles to suppress her amusement. The contrast between their expressions perfectly encapsulates the comedic tension that unfolds in this moment. This particular engraving was featured in the 1836 edition of Moliere's complete works published by Paulin. It stands as a testament to Johannot's skillful interpretation of the play and his ability to convey its humor through visual art. Interestingly, this iconic scene has also been brought to life on stage numerous times throughout history. One notable performance took place in 1985 when Jerome Savary and the Grand Magic Circus recreated it with their own unique flair. This reference adds an extra layer of depth and context to our understanding of Moliere's enduring influence on theater. Overall, this enchanting print captures both the timeless charm of Moliere's work and Tony Johannot's artistic prowess in bringing it vividly to life for generations past and present.
