EDITORS COMMENTS
Molière's "Les Précieuses Ridicules" (The Affected Ladies), a classic comedy of manners from the 17th century, is depicted in this print by Madelon, dated 1659. The renowned French playwright Molière (1622-1673) is celebrated for his insightful and satirical portrayal of societal norms and human behavior. In "Les Précieuses Ridicules," he targets the pretentiousness and affectation of the upper classes, specifically the "precieuses," or affected ladies, of the time. The print captures a scene from the play, where two precieuses, Argante and Laurentine, are shown engaged in a heated argument over literary matters. Argante, dressed in an elaborate, ornate gown, holds a book aloft, while Laurentine, with a quill in hand, gestures animatedly. Their exaggerated expressions and postures highlight their pretentiousness and self-importance. The print also includes other characters from the play, such as the philosopher Alceste and the servant Dorimène, who look on in amusement at the ladies' antics. The print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Molière's work and the relevance of his satire of societal affectation and pretentiousness. "Les Précieuses Ridicules" was first performed in 1659 and continues to be a beloved classic in the world of theatre and literature. This print offers a glimpse into the world of Molière's characters and the societal norms of the time, making it a valuable historical and artistic artifact.
