EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Moliere" captures the essence of one of France's most celebrated playwrights and actors. Painted by Pierre Mignard in oil on canvas, this masterpiece showcases a young Moliere in an oval frame, exuding confidence and intellect. The artist skillfully depicts Moliere with half-length composition, allowing us to focus on his expressive face and charismatic presence. His piercing gaze draws us into the depths of his creative mind, hinting at the genius that lies within. In this portrait, Moliere holds a book or notebook close to his chest, symbolizing his profound dedication to literature and theater. It is through these written words that he would go on to revolutionize French comedy and leave an indelible mark on the world of drama. Mignard's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate folds of Moliere's clothing to the subtle play of light across his features. The warm color palette adds depth and richness to the painting while enhancing its timeless quality. Displayed proudly in Bibliotheque de la Comedie Francaise in Paris, France, this print serves as a testament to Moliere's enduring legacy as both a writer and performer. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of his immense contribution not only to French culture but also to the art form itself.
