EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Pauline, a brave and devoted Christian martyr, as portrayed in the renowned historical play "Polyeucte" by the celebrated French playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Corneille. The play, first performed in Paris in 1640, is a compelling retelling of the ancient Roman tale of Saint Polycarp and his follower, Pauline. Corneille's "Polyeucte" is a seminal work in the history of Western theatre, marking a significant shift towards classical tragedy and influencing the development of French literature and drama. The play centers around the love story of Polyeucte, a pagan Roman soldier, and his Christian wife, Pauline, who ultimately choose to remain faithful to their beliefs despite the threat of persecution. In this evocative print, Pauline is depicted as a resolute and virtuous figure, her serene expression reflecting her unwavering commitment to her faith. Her simple, elegant attire and the prayer beads in her hand emphasize her piety and devotion. The background, with its muted colors and intricate details, evokes the somber atmosphere of the Roman Empire and the profound emotional depth of Corneille's masterpiece. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of faith and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical, theatrical, or artistic works. This print not only offers a glimpse into the rich history of Christian martyrs and the enduring legacy of Corneille's "Polyeucte," but also invites us to reflect on the timeless themes of love, faith, and courage that continue to resonate with audiences today.
