1622 1673 Baptiste Moliere Playwright


EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the essence of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière (1622-1673), the renowned French playwright and actor. The image, created in 1673, just a year before his untimely death, showcases Molière in his mature years, with a wise and introspective expression. His piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance reflect the sophistication and depth of his literary contributions to the world of theatre. Molière's influence on French literature and drama is immeasurable. He is considered one of the greatest playwrights in the Western tradition, known for his insightful commentary on human nature and his ability to satirize the hypocrisies of his time. His plays, which often featured complex characters and intricate plots, tackled subjects such as love, marriage, social class, and religion. Born in Paris in 1622, Molière began his career as an actor and later formed his own theatre company, the Illustre Théâtre, in 1643. He wrote and performed in over thirty plays during his career, some of which, such as "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," and "The School for Wives," remain popular and widely performed today. Despite his immense popularity, Molière's satirical works often drew the ire of the Church and the nobility, leading to numerous controversies and even physical attacks. However, his unwavering commitment to his art and his ability to connect with audiences through his poignant and humorous commentary on the human condition earned him a lasting place in literary history. This engraving serves as a testament to Molière's enduring legacy and his enduring influence on French and world literature. It is a reminder of the power of art to challenge societal norms, provoke thought, and entertain audiences for generations to come.
