EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French playwright, Jean-Baptiste Molière (1622-1673), in an elegant and intricately detailed depiction by Delannoy. Molière's long, curly hair frames his serious yet expressive face, as he gazes intently at the open book in his hands. The historical significance of this image lies in its representation of one of the most influential figures in Western theatre. Born in Paris in 1622, Molière began his career as an actor and later formed his own theatre company, "L'Illustre Théâtre," in 1643. He wrote and performed in over thirty plays, many of which challenged the social norms of the time through satire and comedy. Some of his most famous works include "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," and "The Imaginary Invalid." Despite initial resistance from the Church and the nobility, Molière's plays gained immense popularity among the Parisian public. His innovative approach to theatre and his ability to address contemporary issues through his works made him a trailblazer in the world of French literature. This print, created by Delannoy, is a testament to Molière's enduring legacy. The intricate details, from the folds of his clothing to the texture of his hair, bring the playwright to life and offer a glimpse into the world of 17th-century France. The open book in his hands symbolizes Molière's dedication to his craft and his contributions to the literary world. In conclusion, this print of Molière by Delannoy is a beautiful and intriguing representation of a man who left an indelible mark on the history of French theatre. His plays continue to be performed and studied around the world, and his influence on the literary world remains a source of inspiration for generations to come.
