EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1738 captures a scene from the renowned play "The Precious Ridicules" by Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Moliere. The French School of the 18th century masterfully brings to life this comedic masterpiece that was first performed in 1659. In this representation, we are transported back to the vibrant world of French theater during the 17th century. The intricate details and expressive gestures of the characters showcase their theatrical prowess and capture our imagination. Moliere's wit and satire shine through as he mocks the pretentiousness and affectation of high society. As we delve into this scene, we witness a delightful blend of humor, social commentary, and sharp dialogue. Moliere's genius lies in his ability to entertain while shedding light on societal flaws with clever wordplay and exaggerated characters. The engraving itself is a work of art, skillfully crafted by Giancarlo Costa. Through his meticulous technique, Costa breathes life into each character, capturing their essence with precision and finesse. This print serves as a testament to Moliere's enduring legacy in French literature and theater. It reminds us of his unparalleled ability to captivate audiences across centuries with his timeless works that continue to resonate today. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the power of art to transport us through time and immerse us in worlds both familiar yet distant.
