EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the tragic figure of Medee, or Medea, as portrayed in the renowned play by the French dramatist Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Molière, better known as Corneille. First performed in 1635, "Medea" is a classic tragedy that tells the story of the titular character, a sorceress and a devoted wife, who, in a fit of jealous rage, takes brutal revenge against her husband Jason and their children. Corneille's interpretation of Medea is a complex and nuanced portrayal of a woman driven to the brink of madness by betrayal and abandonment. In this image, Medee's intense and anguished expression conveys her inner turmoil, as she clutches a dagger in one hand and her young son in the other. The backdrop of a stormy landscape further emphasizes the chaos and destruction that Medea's actions will bring. The character of Medee has captivated audiences for centuries, and Corneille's play is considered a seminal work in the history of Western theatre. Medea's tragic story of love, betrayal, and revenge continues to resonate with modern audiences, and this print serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of Corneille's masterful storytelling. This print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of 17th-century French theatre and the enduring legacy of Corneille's groundbreaking work. The intricate details of the costume, the expressive body language of the character, and the evocative use of light and shadow all serve to transport the viewer back in time, making this a must-have for any collection of historical theatre prints.
