EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engravings by Pierre Brissart for the 1682 edition of "Les Precieuses ridicules de Moliere" (Affected Young Ladies). The image captures the essence of this satirical play, which mocks the affectations and pretentiousness of young ladies in 17th century France. The intricate details in Brissart's engravings bring to life the characters and their exaggerated mannerisms. Each line etched on paper portrays a different facet of these affected young ladies, highlighting their obsession with fashion, language, and social status. Through his artistry, Brissart manages to capture both the humor and criticism embedded within Moliere's play. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported back in time to an era when societal norms dictated every aspect of one's behavior. The women depicted here are adorned with elaborate hairstyles, extravagant dresses, and delicate accessories that symbolize their desire to be seen as precious gems. This artwork serves as a reminder that human nature is timeless; even centuries later, we can still relate to Moliere's critique of superficiality and vanity. It also pays homage to Brissart's skill as an engraver who brought these characters to life through his meticulous craftsmanship. In this photographical reproduction by Stefano Bianchetti, we witness not just a moment frozen in time but also an invitation to reflect on our own society's obsessions with appearances and social standing.
