EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the renowned French author and playwright, Pierre Corneille. Captured between 1884-90 by an anonymous German School photographer, this phototype beautifully captures the essence of Corneille's enigmatic persona. Corneille, who lived from 1606 to 1684, is widely regarded as one of France's greatest literary figures. His contributions to the world of drama are immeasurable, with his works often exploring themes of love, honor, and moral dilemmas. This particular image was engraved by Michel Lasne (1596 - 1667), adding a touch of artistic mastery to its composition. Originally published in "A Allgemeines Historisches Porträtwerk" a compilation edited by Dr. Woldemar von Seidlitz (1850-1922) in the late 19th century, this phototype has stood the test of time as a testament to Corneille's enduring legacy. Displayed against a simple backdrop that allows his features to take center stage, Corneille exudes an air of wisdom and contemplation. The fine details captured in this photograph emphasize his expressive eyes and furrowed brow – evidence of a brilliant mind at work. Preserved within a private collection today but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print serves as both an homage to Pierre Corneille's genius and a reminder that great art transcends time itself.
