EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Tony Johannot captures a pivotal scene from Moliere's renowned play, "Le bourgeois gentilhomme". In this edition of the complete works published in 1836, Madame Jourdain makes a startling discovery that her husband, Mr. Jourdain, is dressed as Mamamouchi. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of Johannot's engraving bring this moment to life. The composition portrays the shock and disbelief on Madame Jourdain's face as she confronts her husband's secret disguise. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and emotion within the characters' expressions. Through this print, we are transported back to 17th century France, immersing ourselves in the world of Moliere's theatrical genius. Johannot's work beautifully complements Moliere's wit and satire by capturing the essence of each character through their gestures and attire. This particular scene holds great significance in highlighting societal norms and expectations during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we cannot help but appreciate its contribution to French literature and theater. It serves as a testament to Moliere's enduring legacy while showcasing Johannot’s talent for visual storytelling. This engraving is not only an exquisite piece of art but also an invaluable glimpse into European history. Its presence evokes curiosity about older prints depicting similar scenes, inviting us to explore further connections between past interpretations.
