EDITORS COMMENTS
Molière: The Dramatist at Work (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, 1622-1673) This evocative portrait by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, titled "Molière," captures the essence of the renowned French playwright, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name, Molière. Born in 1622, Molière was a pioneering figure in French literature, renowned for his innovative comedies that satirized the societal norms of his time. In this striking image, Molière is depicted in the act of creation, with a quill pen in hand and a stack of papers on the table before him. The intense expression on his face conveys the deep concentration required to bring his imaginative ideas to life. The richly textured background, with its intricate folds and shadows, adds depth and dimension to the scene, further emphasizing the depth of thought and creativity at play. Molière's impact on French literature and theater is immeasurable. His works, which included both comedies and tragedies, tackled themes such as hypocrisy, vanity, and the absurdities of human behavior. His most famous productions, such as "Tartuffe" and "The Misanthrope," continue to be performed and studied to this day. Ingres' portrait of Molière, created in the late 19th century, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of this brilliant writer. The painting not only captures the essence of Molière's creative spirit but also highlights the profound influence he had on French culture and beyond. This image is a must-have for any collection focusing on French literature, theater history, or the works of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière.
