1606 1684 1797 1862 Corneille Frontis Piece Hippolyte Pauquet Pierre Playwright Aisa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking frontispiece depicts the renowned French poet and playwright, Pierre Corneille (1606-1684), flanked by his contemporary and admirer, Hippolyte Louis Pauquet (1797-1862). The image, published in 1862, captures the intellectual and artistic camaraderie between these two literary giants. Corneille, a leading figure of the French classical theatre, is known for his plays such as "Le Cid" and "Horace," which showcased his mastery of tragic drama. Pauquet, a historian and literary critic, was instrumental in the revival of Corneille's works during the 19th century. His critical studies, including "Corneille et Racine," brought renewed attention to the plays of these two great French playwrights. This historical frontispiece not only highlights the literary connection between Corneille and Pauquet but also underscores their enduring influence on French literature and theatre.
