EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name Molière, a legendary figure in the world of French literature and theater. Born on January 15, 1622, in Paris, Molière began his career as an actor in the Illustre Théâtre and later founded his own theatrical troupe, the Troupe de Monsieur. He is considered one of the greatest playwrights in the French language, renowned for his insightful commentary on societal norms and human behavior. Molière's plays, which often featured satire and comedy, were groundbreaking in their day. Some of his most famous works include "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," and "The Imaginary Invalid." These plays tackled controversial subjects, such as hypocrisy, vanity, and the absurdities of the human condition, and were not without controversy. They were criticized by some for their frank portrayal of societal issues and were even banned at various points during his lifetime. Despite the challenges, Molière's influence on French theater and literature is immeasurable. He is considered a pioneer of modern drama and his works continue to be performed and studied around the world. This print, which captures the essence of Molière's charisma and talent, serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. Molière passed away on February 17, 1673, leaving behind a rich body of work that continues to inspire and entertain audiences. His contributions to the world of theater and literature are a testament to his creativity, courage, and passion for the arts. This print is a reminder of the enduring power of the written word and the transformative power of the stage.
