Monsieur de Pourceaugnac: A Theatrical Encounter with Molière's Apothecary This evocative print captures a pivotal moment from Molière's classic comedy, "Monsieur de Pourceaugnac," first performed in Paris in 1669. The image features the eponymous character, Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, portrayed by the renowned French playwright and actor, Molière himself. Dressed in the attire of an apothecary, complete with mortar and pestle, Monsieur de Pourceaugnac approaches the audience with a syringe in hand. The play, a satire of the bourgeoisie, revolves around the character of Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, who feigns madness to escape the financial demands of his family. In this scene, he is attempting to administer a potion to a character named Argante, who is unaware that she is being deceived. The syringe symbolizes the manipulation and deception that permeate the play, as well as the characters' obsession with health and wellbeing. Molière's innovative use of comedy to critique the societal norms of his time made him a trailblazer in French theatre. "Monsieur de Pourceaugnac" was one of his most successful works, and its enduring popularity is a testament to the timeless appeal of his satire. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Molière and the theatrical landscape of 17th-century France.
