EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French playwright and actor, Moliere, in the 18th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jacques Firmin Beauvarlet, who beautifully captures Moliere's essence and charisma. Moliere, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin in 1622, was a prominent figure in French literature and theatre during the 17th century. His contributions to the arts are immeasurable as he not only wrote numerous plays but also acted in them himself. In this portrait, Moliere sits confidently on a chair dressed in an exquisite costume that reflects his profession. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image while emphasizing every detail of Moliere's face and attire. As we gaze into his eyes, we can almost feel his passion for storytelling emanating from within. This print is part of "A Collection of Engraved Portraits" exhibited by James Anderson Rose at the opening of London's New Library and Museum back in November 1872. It serves as a testament to Moliere's enduring legacy even centuries after his passing. For enthusiasts of French history or lovers of theatre alike, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into one man's profound impact on both stagecraft and literature. It reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to transcending time and leaving an indelible mark on society.
