EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned French writer and comic poet, Paul Scarron. Painted in the 17th century by an anonymous artist from the French School, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides in the Musee de Tesse in Le Mans, France. In this striking portrayal, Scarron's face tells a story of a life well-lived. The deep wrinkles etched across his weathered countenance speak volumes about his wisdom and experience. Despite his elderly appearance, there is a youthful spark that emanates from his eyes, hinting at the wit and humor for which he was known. Scarron's legacy extends beyond his literary contributions; he married Francoise d'Aubigne in 1652. This union would later pave the way for her to become Madame de Maintenon - one of history's most influential women as she became Louis XIV's second wife. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when words held immense power and storytelling was an art form cherished by all. It serves as a reminder of Scarron's significant impact on French literature during his lifetime. This print captures not only the essence of Paul Scarron but also invites us to reflect on our own journey through life – embracing every wrinkle earned along the way as symbols of resilience and character.
