EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the elaborate and ornate costume of Philiste, a character from the renowned French playwright Pierre Corneille's comedy "La Veuve" (The Widow), first performed in 1634. The man depicted in the photograph, dressed in the role of Philiste, embodies the extravagance and theatricality of the Baroque era. Philiste is a secondary character in Corneille's play, known for his pompous and self-important demeanor. He is a wealthy and influential man, who believes that his wealth and social status entitle him to the affections of the play's protagonist, Arippe. However, Arippe, a widow, is not interested in his advances and instead falls in love with Valère, a humble and virtuous man. The costume of Philiste reflects his inflated sense of self-importance and his desire to impress. The image reveals a man dressed in a richly embroidered doublet, adorned with intricate gold lace and decorative buttons. The voluminous sleeves and the high collar add to the grandeur of the costume, while the breeches and the knee-high boots complete the look. The hat, topped with a large feather, further emphasizes his status and wealth. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Baroque era and the theatrical world of Pierre Corneille. It is a reminder of the importance of costume in bringing a character to life and conveying their personality to the audience.
