EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print pays tribute to the renowned French poet and literary critic, Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux (1636-1711). Boileau is considered a pivotal figure in the establishment of classical French verse, shaping the literary landscape of the 17th century with his rigorous adherence to the rules of rhyme, meter, and diction. His influential work, "Art Poétique," published in 1674, laid the groundwork for the neoclassical movement in French literature. The elaborate design of this print reflects the grandeur and sophistication of the Baroque era, with intricate scrollwork, ornate flowers, and a regal border. At the center, Boileau is depicted in profile, dressed in the attire of a nobleman, holding a quill pen in one hand and a book in the other. The inscription at the bottom of the print reads, "Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux, Poète et Critique," emphasizing his dual role as a poet and literary critic. Boileau's impact on French literature is immeasurable, and his influence can be seen in the works of many prominent French writers, including Voltaire, Jean Racine, and Molière. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the importance of his contributions to the world of letters.
