1667 Devout Moliere Plays Tartuffe
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment from Moliere's iconic play "Tartuffe," first performed in 1667. The image features the character Tartuffe, a cunning and hypocritical imposter who feigns devoutness to manipulate those around him. In this scene, Tartuffe defiantly declares, "Ah, just because I am devout, I m none the less a man!" This line encapsulates the central theme of the play - the dangers of blind faith and deception.
Moliere's "Tartuffe" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today. The play satirizes religious hypocrisy and explores themes of morality, manipulation, and human nature. Through sharp wit and clever dialogue, Moliere exposes the flaws and follies of his characters while providing insightful commentary on society.
The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. Moliere was a groundbreaking playwright whose works revolutionized French theatre during the 17th century. His plays were controversial yet immensely popular, challenging societal norms and sparking important conversations about power dynamics and ethics.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a visual representation of a scene from "Tartuffe," but also a window into an era of rich cultural history. It serves as a reminder of Moliere's enduring legacy as one of France's greatest playwrights and his contributions to the world of theatre.
