EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean-Baptiste Molière (1622-1673), the renowned French playwright and actor, in the role of Sganarelle from his own play "L'École des Maris" (The School for Husbands), produced in 1661. The painting, held at the Comédie Française, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the 17th century. Molière, a pivotal figure in French literature and theater, was not only an accomplished playwright but also an exceptional actor. In "L'École des Maris," he brought the character of Sganarelle to life, a loyal and bumbling servant to the main character Harpagon. This role, along with many others, solidified Molière's reputation as a versatile and talented performer. The play "L'École des Maris" is a comedic exploration of the themes of love, marriage, and the role of men in society. Molière's clever dialogue and satirical commentary on human behavior continue to resonate with audiences today. This image offers a unique opportunity to connect with the past and gain insight into the life and work of one of France's most celebrated cultural figures. The intricate details of Molière's costume and the expressive nature of his facial features convey the intensity and passion he brought to his performances. As we admire this historical artifact, we are reminded of the enduring impact of Molière's contributions to the world of literature and theater. His plays, including "L'École des Maris," continue to be performed and studied, ensuring his legacy as a master of French drama.
