EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique portrayal of the renowned French playwright and author, Moliere (1622-73), as St. John the Baptist. Created by an anonymous 17th-century French artist using gouache on paper, this artwork is currently housed in the Musee de Vulliod Saint-Germain in Pezenas, France. In this striking portrait, Moliere assumes the role of St. John the Baptist with great poise and intensity. Seated confidently, he holds a staff that symbolizes his prophetic mission as the precursor to Jesus Christ. The oval-shaped composition adds a sense of elegance and focus to this remarkable depiction. Moliere's choice to embody such an iconic biblical figure speaks volumes about his creativity and versatility as an artist beyond his literary achievements. Known for his exceptional wit and satirical plays that often critiqued societal norms, Moliere's decision to portray himself as St. John the Baptist reveals a deeper layer of introspection and spiritual exploration. The use of gouache on paper lends itself beautifully to capturing intricate details while maintaining vibrant colors that bring life to every brushstroke. This exquisite piece not only pays homage to Moliere's artistic prowess but also offers viewers a glimpse into his complex personality. As we admire this timeless image from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us appreciate both Moliere's contributions to literature and theater as well as his willingness to delve into new artistic territories through visual representation.
