EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the character of Alceste, the protagonist and misanthrope from Jean Baptiste de Moliere's renowned comedy of manners, "Le Misanthrope". Created in 1868 by L Wolff, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Alceste's personality and style. Dressed in a striking red costume that reflects both his fiery temperament and his disdain for societal conventions, Alceste stands tall in this full-length portrait. The intricate details of his clothing highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during the 17th century. The juxtaposition between the 19th-century print itself and its depiction of a character from centuries earlier adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. It serves as a testament to Moliere's enduring influence on French theater throughout history. Accompanying this remarkable image is an introduction by Gabriel Jules Janin, providing further context to Moliere's work and its significance within French literature. This comprehensive edition was published by F. de P Mellado et Cie in Paris, ensuring that readers can fully immerse themselves in Moliere's complete works. Whether you are a fan of classic theater or appreciate historical artistry, this print offers a glimpse into both past eras - the vibrant world created by Moliere himself and the artistic techniques employed during the late 19th century when it was printed.
