EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a scene from the timeless play "Don Juan" by Jean Baptiste Poquelin dit Moliere, where Sganarelle boldly contradicts Aristotle to praise tobacco. The intricate details in this 19th-century print by Janet-Lange (Janet Lange) bring to life the humor and wit of Moliere's work.
In this moment frozen in time, we witness the clash between tradition and modernity as Sganarelle challenges the revered philosopher's beliefs with his admiration for tobacco. This juxtaposition serves as a reflection of the societal norms and values prevalent during Moliere's era, making it a thought-provoking piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.
The Barba edition of this engraving adds another layer of historical significance, showcasing how Moliere's works have been cherished and celebrated through various artistic interpretations over centuries. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to 17th-century France, immersing ourselves in the world of theater and literature that has stood the test of time.
With its rich symbolism and expert craftsmanship, this print is not just a visual representation of a scene from "Don Juan," but also a testament to the enduring legacy of one of history's greatest playwrights.
