EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Moliere" by Nicolas Habert. The image depicts a distinguished man with a prominent moustache, capturing the essence of Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Moliere. As one of France's most celebrated playwrights and actors, Moliere left an indelible mark on the world of theater. The engraving beautifully captures his talent and charisma, showcasing him in an oval medallion-like frame. With his wig perfectly coiffed and his gaze fixed upon us, he exudes confidence and charm. This portrait serves as a testament to Moliere's immense contribution to French literature. Moliere was not only a prolific writer but also a skilled comedian, producer, theatre company manager - truly a multifaceted artist. His plays such as "Le Tartuffe" continue to be performed worldwide even today. Displayed against a plain background in this photograph, every detail is accentuated – from the delicate lines etched into the engraving to the subtle shading that brings depth to Moliere's face. It is evident that this image has been carefully preserved over time at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry through our own lens, we are transported back in time to witness the genius behind some of history's greatest theatrical works.
