EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Pierre Corneille, a renowned French tragedian and dramatist from the 17th century. The portrait, taken from Crabbs Historical Dictionary published in 1825, showcases Corneille's intellectual prowess and artistic brilliance. In this striking image, Corneille's bust is depicted with meticulous attention to detail. His penetrating gaze exudes wisdom and depth, reflecting his profound understanding of human emotions and the complexities of life. The artist skillfully portrays every line on his face, revealing both the weight of experience and a hint of vulnerability. Corneille's contribution to literature is immeasurable; he revolutionized French theater with his tragic plays that explored themes such as love, honor, and destiny. Through his works like "Le Cid" and "Polyeucte" he challenged societal norms while delving into the depths of human nature. This engraving not only serves as a visual homage to one of France's greatest playwrights but also stands as a testament to the enduring power of art itself. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, fine art continues to captivate audiences with its ability to immortalize great minds like Pierre Corneille. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world today, this print allows us an intimate glimpse into the soulful expression captured by an English School artist during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder that true genius transcends time and place – leaving
