EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an engraving from "Works" by the renowned French playwright and theatre actor, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, also known as Moliere. The scene depicted is titled "The Forced Marriage" and dates back to 1896, showcasing a moment of tension and drama in a wedding ceremony.
The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the emotions of the characters involved - four individuals caught in a situation that seems to be beyond their control. The couple at the center of the composition appears conflicted, hinting at the complexities of love and duty during this period in history.
Set against a backdrop that exudes historical charm, this image transports viewers back to 17th century France, offering a glimpse into the cultural norms and societal expectations of that time. The craftsmanship of the engraver shines through in every line and curve, adding depth and texture to the narrative unfolding before our eyes.
As we gaze upon this piece from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to capture moments both timeless and fleeting. It serves as a testament to Moliere's genius as a storyteller and his ability to illuminate human nature with wit and insight.
