EDITORS COMMENTS
Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac: A Famous French Poet and Soldier Known for His Duelling Skills, 1619-1709 This exquisitely ornate oval print captures the likeness of Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, a renowned French poet and soldier, born on March 6, 1619, in Paris. The print, created in 1709, showcases Cyrano's distinguished appearance under the radiant glow of the sun and the tranquil gaze of the moon. Cyrano de Bergerac was a man of many talents. He was a poet, a playwright, a musician, and a soldier, but he is most famously remembered for his extraordinary duelling skills. The inscription below the image reads, "Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, Chevalier de Combourg, Lieutenant General of the Horse Guards, and Captain of the Guard of the King," highlighting his impressive military career. The historical figure of Cyrano de Bergerac has captured the imagination of generations. His life story has been the subject of numerous plays, novels, and films, including the well-known 1897 play "Cyrano de Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand. The play, which portrays Cyrano as a romantic hero who is unable to express his love for Roxane due to his large nose, has become a classic in world literature. Despite the romanticized portrayals of his life, Cyrano de Bergerac was a real-life figure who lived during the turbulent times of the French monarchy. He was a witness to the Fronde rebellion and the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. His writings, which were often satirical and critical of the establishment, reflected the social and political climate of the time. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, a man who defied the conventions of his time and left an indelible mark on French literature and history.
