EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "LOUIS XIV & MOLIERE" takes us back to the opulent court of Versailles in France, circa 1665. The engraving, skillfully created by Jean Leon Gerome, beautifully captures a momentous occasion where two influential figures meet over breakfast. In this regal setting, we witness Louis XIV, the renowned Sun King himself, sharing a meal with none other than Moliere - the celebrated French playwright and actor. As they sit within the grand castle walls of Versailles, one can only imagine the weighty discussions and lively conversations that took place between these two remarkable men. Louis XIV's presence exudes power and authority as he engages with Moliere. His royal stature is evident through his elaborate attire and commanding posture. Meanwhile, Moliere appears both respectful and at ease in the company of his king. The image not only highlights their meeting but also symbolizes an important union between artistry and monarchy during this period. It serves as a testament to Louis XIV's patronage of arts and culture while showcasing Moliere's position as a prominent figure in French literature. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving by Jean Leon Gerome, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes - an extraordinary encounter between two influential individuals who left an indelible mark on French society.
