EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Death of Jean Baptiste (Jean-Baptiste) Poquelin, dit Moliere" captures a poignant moment in literary history. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases the final moments of one of France's greatest playwrights. On February 17,1673, Jean Baptiste Poquelin, famously known as Moliere, took his last breath with the loving support of his wife Armande Bejart. The image portrays a bedroom scene where sadness permeates the air. Moliere lies on a bed surrounded by furniture that hints at their modest lifestyle. The artist has skillfully depicted the emotions felt during this tragic event. The grief-stricken face of Armande Bejart reflects her deep love for her husband and her profound loss. It is clear that she was not only his wife but also an integral part of his creative journey. This engraving originates from Henry de Kock's "Histoire Des Cocus Celebres" published in 1871. Through its intricate details and delicate lines, it pays homage to Moliere's significant contribution to French literature. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are reminded of Moliere's enduring legacy as a writer and playwright who brought laughter and social commentary to audiences throughout France and beyond.
