Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name Moliere, was a renowned French playwright and actor who left an indelible mark on the world of theater. Born in 1622, he captivated audiences with his wit and comedic genius. One of Moliere's most famous works, "Le depit amoureux, " was beautifully illustrated by Francois Boucher and engraved by Laurent Cars for the iconic edition of Moliere's works in 1734. The illustrations brought to life the hilarious escapades and romantic entanglements that unfolded on stage. In another scene from "Scapin's Furries, " Argante hides behind Scapin as Silvestre threatens him with a sword. This particular moment became one of the most frequently depicted scenes in illustrations of this play, showcasing its enduring popularity. The first volume of the 1734 edition featured a captivating title page engraving that captured the essence of Moliere's theatrical brilliance. It served as a visual invitation into his imaginative world filled with laughter and satire. Moliere himself is portrayed reading one of his freshly written comedies to his maid in a digitally restored reproduction from a 19th-century original painting. This image offers us a glimpse into the creative process behind some of history's greatest theatrical masterpieces. Another artwork depicts Moliere reading "Tartuffe" at Ninon de Lenclos' home in 1802. The oil-on-canvas painting captures both Moliere's intense concentration and Ninon de Lenclos' admiration for his work, highlighting their mutual appreciation for artistic expression. Several sculptures immortalize Jean Baptiste Poquelin as Moliere during the 18th century. These marble statues pay homage to his contributions to French literature and theater while preserving his legacy for future generations to admire. Engravings featuring Armande Bejart showcase her talent as an actress and her association with Moliere's theatrical troupe.
