"Exploring the World of Playwrights: From Moliere to Shakespeare" Step into the enchanting world of playwrights through captivating illustrations and iconic works. In François Boucher's exquisite engraving, we witness a scene from Moliere's "Le dépit amoureux, " where love's turmoil takes center stage. Laurent Cars' skillful craftsmanship brings this moment to life in the famous 1734 edition. Delve deeper into Moliere's theatrical realm as Scapin's antics unfold in Act 2 of "Scapin’s Furries. " This particular scene, often depicted in illustrations, showcases Argante hiding behind Scapin while Silvestre brandishes his sword threateningly. The intensity and drama are palpable. Shakespearean magic comes alive in Max Slevogt's lithograph for "Midsummer Night’s Dream (Sommernachtstraum)" from 1918. Immerse yourself in the whimsical forest inhabited by fairies, lovers entangled in their dreams, and mischievous Puck orchestrating chaos with glee. The title page of the esteemed 1734 edition presents an engraved masterpiece introducing us to Moliere’s vast repertoire. It serves as a gateway to explore his timeless comedies that continue to captivate audiences across generations. Honore Balzac himself becomes a satirical caricature, highlighting his influential role within French literature. His wit and insight have left an indelible mark on the world of playwriting. William Shakespeare takes center stage once again with prints capturing scenes from his renowned plays like "Timon of Athens, " "All’s Well That Ends Well, " and "The Comedy of Errors. " These visual interpretations offer glimpses into Shakespearean tragedies and comedies alike – tales filled with passion, betrayal, mistaken identities, and ultimately redemption or resolution.
