EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Nicolas Boileau, a prominent French writer and author of the 17th and 18th centuries. Painted by Jean Baptiste Santerre, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100.2x82 cm and is currently housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France. In this striking depiction, Boileau exudes an air of wisdom and authority. Dressed in a luxurious gold brocade robe with an exquisite wig adorning his head, he commands attention with his piercing gaze. With one hand elegantly resting on a book and the other pointing towards something beyond our view, it is as if he is guiding us through the realms of literature. Boileau's contribution to French literature cannot be understated. Known for his critical essays and satirical poetry, he played a significant role in shaping literary norms during his time. His most famous work "Boileau Despreaux" remains influential even today. This print captures not only Boileau's physical appearance but also reflects his intellectual prowess that made him such an important figure in French literary history. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact that great writers can have on society.
