EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Louis Racine: A Poet of the French Enlightenment and Inspector-General of Taxes in Marseille" Louis Racine (1692-1763) was a prominent figure in the French literary scene during the Age of Enlightenment. Born in Paris, Racine's poetic talents were discovered at an early age, and he quickly rose to become a respected member of the literary community. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he was appointed Inspector-General of Taxes in Marseille, Provence, in the late 1740s. This portrait of Racine, taken around 1749, captures the poet in the prime of his life. The image reveals a man of refined sensibilities, with a thoughtful expression and piercing gaze. His attire, consisting of a formal waistcoat and breeches, signifies his position of authority as an inspector-general. Racine's dual roles as a poet and tax collector have long intrigued scholars. The Age of Enlightenment was characterized by a renewed interest in reason, individualism, and the natural world. Racine's poetry, which often explored themes of love, nature, and morality, resonated with the intellectual currents of the time. Despite his successful career as a poet, Racine's appointment as an inspector-general in Marseille allowed him to continue his literary pursuits. He became a member of the prestigious Academie des Inscriptions, one of France's most esteemed literary institutions, further cementing his place in the annals of French literary history. This photographic print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a fascinating figure who defied the conventional boundaries of artistic and professional pursuits during the Age of Enlightenment. Louis Racine's legacy as a poet and administrator continues to inspire and intrigue scholars and enthusiasts alike.
