Draped Drapery Leaning Phylactery Theatrical Neo Classical Neoclassical

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a detailed view of the Moliere Fountain, also known as Serious Comedy. Created in 1844 by James Pradier, this magnificent marble sculpture stands at an impressive height of 250 cm in Paris, France. The fountain pays homage to Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, famously known as Moliere, a renowned French playwright from the 17th century. Situated at the corner of rue de Richelieu and rue Moliere, it serves as a timeless symbol of theatrical artistry. In this particular detail shot taken by Studio Giraudon in 1920, we see a female figure standing beside the statue. She appears to be leaning on a phylactery while gazing thoughtfully at the masterpiece before her. The draped clothing adds an element of classical elegance to the scene. The neoclassical style is evident in Pradier's work, showcasing his mastery over sculpting techniques and attention to detail. This piece embodies both romanticism and neo-classicism elements that were prevalent during its creation. As you admire this print captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, let your imagination transport you back through time to experience the grandeur and artistic brilliance that emanates from this iconic fountain.
