EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "You see me, gentlemen" we are transported back in time to witness a fascinating encounter between two iconic figures of French history. The image captures the moment when Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, sits at a grand table enjoying a meal while engaging in conversation with none other than Moliere. The composition exudes an air of elegance and opulence, befitting the royal court. Louis XIV is depicted as regal and powerful, his presence commanding attention. Meanwhile, Moliere appears animated and engaged in conversation with the king, showcasing his wit and intellect. This engraving offers us a glimpse into both the personal lives of these historical figures and their contributions to French culture. It symbolizes the intersection of power and artistry that defined 17th-century France. As we admire this artwork from Leonard de Selva's collection "Paris through the centuries" we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates an era where theater thrived under royal patronage. This image serves as a reminder of how influential individuals like Louis XIV shaped not only political landscapes but also artistic movements. With its rich historical context and masterful execution by an unknown artist from the 19th century, this print invites us to delve deeper into our understanding of French history while appreciating its enduring cultural legacy.
