EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned French playwright Molière's 1670 comedy, Monsieur de Pourceaugnac. The line engraving, created by Antoine Coypel in the early 18th century, beautifully depicts a moment of hilarity and chaos within the play. Set in late 17th-century France, this interior scene showcases an amusing encounter between a doctor and his patient. The comedic genius of Molière shines through as he explores themes of medicine and social class with wit and satire. The detailed engraving transports us to a theater where we witness the upper-class protagonist, Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, being subjected to an enema treatment. As the doctor administers this unconventional remedy, both actors skillfully portray their characters' reactions - one filled with discomfort while the other maintains an air of authority. Molière's plays were known for their sharp observations on society and human nature. Through clever dialogue and exaggerated situations like this one, he entertained audiences while also offering subtle critiques on societal norms. This remarkable print is part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection and serves as a testament to Molière's enduring legacy in French literature. It allows us to appreciate not only his brilliant writing but also Antoine Coypel's artistic interpretation that brings these timeless characters to life once more.
