EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned French playwright, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name Molière (1622-1673). Born in Paris, Molière began his career as an actor and later became a successful playwright, producing both comedies and tragedies. His works often satirized the societal norms and hypocrisies of the time, making him a controversial figure. Molière's influence on French literature and theater is immeasurable. He is considered one of the greatest playwrights in the French language and is known for his mastery of character and dialogue. Some of his most famous works include "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," and "The Imaginary Invalid." Despite his artistic success, Molière faced numerous challenges throughout his career. His satirical plays were often met with criticism and even censorship from the authorities. In one instance, he was forced to perform in the nude as punishment for staging a play without the necessary permissions. Despite these challenges, Molière continued to write and perform, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day. His plays are still performed around the world, and his influence can be seen in the works of many modern playwrights. This print, which dates from the late 19th or early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable artist. Molière's expressive face and theatrical pose convey the passion and energy that he brought to the stage. The print serves as a reminder of the power of art to challenge societal norms and provoke thought and reflection.
