EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century portrait captures the essence of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name Molière, the renowned French actor, playwright, and founder of the Comédie-Française theatre company. Painted by Pierre Mignard in 1673, the year of Molière's death, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the elegance and sophistication of the Baroque era. Molière's expressive face, with its furrowed brow and piercing gaze, conveys the intensity and passion he brought to his roles on stage. The artist masterfully portrays the intricacies of Molière's costume, complete with ruff collar, lace cuffs, and voluminous sleeves, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the time. Molière's hands, poised in a theatrical gesture, serve as a reminder of his unwavering dedication to the world of theatre, where he excelled in comedy, drama, and ballet. This portrait is a testament to Molière's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in French literature and theatre, and a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of France.
