EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece for "Polyeucte" by Pierre Corneille, a renowned French playwright from the 17th century. The intricate engraving, published in 1643, transports us to a world of gods and destruction. In this dramatic scene, we witness a powerful deity unleashing her wrath upon a temple filled with idols. With divine fury in her eyes, she shatters statues and breaks altars as if they were mere playthings. This classical tragedy unfolds before our eyes, capturing the essence of Corneille's masterpiece. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity of the moment through detailed illustration. Every line etched into this print conveys emotion - fear, awe, and reverence for these larger-than-life figures. The juxtaposition between godly power and human fragility is palpable. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the themes explored in "Polyeucte". Sacrifice takes center stage as martyrdom becomes an act of devotion to one's beliefs. The theater comes alive within these engraved frames as it brings forth stories that resonate across time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris for all to appreciate. It serves as a testament to both Corneille's genius and the enduring allure of classical tragedies. Let us immerse ourselves in its beauty while pondering on the eternal struggle between gods and mortals
