EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of the renowned French playwright and poet, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière's rival and contemporary, Pierre Corneille (1606-1684). The print, titled "Horace the Character of the Elder Horace," depicts Corneille in the role of the ancient Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, or Horace, in one of his own plays. The year is 1639, and Corneille's theatrical career is in full swing. Corneille's plays, which often explored the complexities of human emotions and relationships, were a major influence on the development of French classical theatre. His works, such as "Le Cid," "Horace," and "The Illusion," were performed regularly in Paris and throughout Europe. In this print, Corneille is seen in the character of Horace, the wise and venerable poet, delivering a solemn and thoughtful monologue. The serious expression on his face and the furrowed brow suggest the depth of his artistic contemplation. The historical context of this image is significant. The 17th century was a time of great artistic and intellectual ferment in France, and Corneille was at the forefront of the theatrical scene. His plays, which often challenged societal norms and explored the complexities of human emotions, were both controversial and popular. This print serves as a testament to Corneille's enduring influence on French literature and theatre. The print's intricate detail and rich colors bring Corneille to life, transporting us back to the world of 17th-century French theatre. The ornate costume and the elaborate set design evoke the opulence and grandeur of the era, while the serious expression on Corneille's face reminds us of the depth and complexity of his artistic vision. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of French literature and theatre, and a beautiful addition to any collection of historical prints.
