EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for Nicomede, a play written by the renowned French playwright Pierre Corneille. The intricate engraving, skillfully executed by Noel Le Mire, brings to life the dramatic scene depicted in this artwork. Set within the opulent interior of a palace, we witness a compelling discussion between several characters. A fatherly king, adorned with a feathered helmet symbolizing his regal stature, engages in conversation with his warrior son and other individuals. Their intense expressions and gestures convey the depth of emotion present in this classical tragedy. The artist Hubert Gravelot masterfully captures the essence of this theatrical moment through meticulous attention to detail. Each column and architectural element adds grandeur to the setting while enhancing the overall atmosphere of tension and anticipation. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image from centuries past, it is impossible not to be drawn into its narrative power. The composition invites us to contemplate themes such as loyalty, duty, and familial relationships that are central to Corneille's work. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both artistic talent and storytelling prowess. It transports us back in time to experience firsthand the intensity of emotions felt on stage during performances of Nicomede.
