EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned actor Coquelin the Elder in his iconic role as Monsieur Jourdain in Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. Painted by Jean Beraud in 1882, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Coquelin's impeccable talent and theatrical prowess. Benoit Constant Coquelin, who made his debut at the Comedie Francaise in 1860, brings Monsieur Jourdain to life with his remarkable acting skills. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme is a five-act comedie-ballet that combines music, dance, and singing. It was first performed before the court of Louis XIV at the Chateau of Chambord by Moliere's troupe of actors on October 14th, 1670. In this image, Coquelin embodies the character perfectly, capturing both his pomposity and comedic charm. The elaborate costume and attention to detail highlight the grandeur of this theatrical production. As one of France's most celebrated actors during his time, Coquelin delivers a satirical performance that brilliantly mocks social conventions and pretensions. The print not only pays tribute to Coquelin's exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to Moliere's genius as a playwright. Through their collaboration, they created an enduring piece of theater that continues to captivate audiences today. This exquisite artwork from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind stage performances and the historical significance of influential figures like Benoit Constant Coquelin.
