EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, presumed to be Moliere, transports us back to the 17th century and offers a glimpse into the life of one of France's most celebrated dramatists. Painted in oil on canvas by an unknown French artist, this masterpiece measures 100x80 cm and is housed in the prestigious Musee Cantini in Marseille, France. The subject of this enigmatic painting is believed to be Moliere himself, although there have been debates about its attribution over time. Initially attributed to Sebastien Bourdon and later Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (Moliere's birth name), this portrait showcases a man possibly dressed for his role as Caesar in "The Death of Pompey". With impeccable attention to detail, the artist captures Moliere's essence through his expressive eyes and regal costume. The playwright's passion for theater radiates from every brushstroke, reminding us of his immense contribution to the world of literature. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported into Moliere's world – a realm where wit meets satire and comedy intertwines with tragedy. This image serves as a testament not only to Moliere's talent but also to his enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations.
