EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting, "Moliere Reading Tartuffe at the home of Ninon de Lenclos" transports us back to 1802 and offers a glimpse into the world of French playwright Moliere. Created by Nicolas Andre Monsiau, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 97 x 146.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection. In this scene, we witness Moliere engrossed in his own work as he reads aloud from his renowned play Tartuffe. The setting is the elegant home of Ninon de Lenclos, a prominent figure known for her wit and charm during that era. The room exudes an air of sophistication with its richly colored walls and exquisite furnishings. Monsiau skillfully captures the essence of Moliere's genius through his intense expression and focused gaze. As one of the greatest writers in both French language and world literature, Moliere's contribution to theater cannot be overstated. This artwork not only pays homage to Moliere but also serves as a testament to the power of art itself. It reminds us that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and be inspired by the creativity and brilliance of those who came before us. As we admire this piece, let us reflect on how art has shaped our culture throughout history while continuing to ignite our imaginations today.
