EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Turkish ceremony, as depicted in the famous play "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" by Moliere. The illustration, dating back to 1801, showcases the intricate details of this theatrical moment from the comedy ballet that satirizes the nouveaux riches. In this scene, we see a group of individuals dressed in elaborate oriental costumes, surrounded by candlelight and carpets. A female figure stands at the center with a book in her hand, while priests and monks are seen nearby. The atmosphere is filled with an air of ritualistic solemnity as they gather under a canopy adorned with candles. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving - from the ornate turbans worn by some characters to their scimitars resting against their sides. This portrayal reflects both fascination with Orientalism and religious symbolism. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where tradition meets satire on stage. It serves as a reminder of Moliere's genius in using theater to critique societal norms and behaviors. Displayed proudly within Bibliotheque de la Comedie Francaise in Paris, France, this historic artwork continues to captivate viewers even centuries later. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its artistic merit but also its ability to evoke curiosity about different cultures and traditions.
