EDITORS COMMENTS
Molière, the renowned French playwright and actor, is depicted in this print from 1653, titled "L'Étourdi" or "The Simpleton." In this scene, Molière, dressed in the attire of a fashionable gentleman, is shown engaging in a humorous moment from one of his plays. The character Lelie, played by Molière himself, is seen asking, "Qui est cette sac à poudre?" or "Whose purse is this?" to an unsuspecting man, who is shown looking over his shoulder in surprise. Molière's innovative and satirical plays were a staple of the French theatre scene during the 17th century. His works often poked fun at the social norms and hypocrisies of the time, making him a controversial figure among the aristocracy. "L'Étourdi" is a comédie-bourgeoise, a type of comedy that focused on the lives of the middle class. The play follows the story of a simpleton named Lelie, who, despite his lack of intelligence, manages to outwit the cunning and deceitful members of the upper class. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Molière and the theatre of the 17th century. The intricate details of the costumes, the expressive body language of the actors, and the lively interaction between the characters all serve to transport us back in time and offer a window into the world of French theatre during the reign of Louis XIV.
