EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Jourdain Fences his Maid, Nicole with his Wife Looking on" we are transported to a scene from the renowned play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. Painted by Charles Robert Leslie in the 19th century, this oil on canvas artwork measures 61x97.7 cm and is currently housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The image depicts an intense moment of tension and drama as Jourdain engages in a fencing duel with his maid, Nicole. Dressed impeccably as a dandy with a powdered wig, Jourdain embodies the social climber archetype portrayed in Molière's play. His wife stands nearby, her gaze fixed upon the unfolding spectacle. Leslie masterfully captures not only the physicality of the duel but also conveys deeper themes of class dynamics and societal expectations prevalent during that era. The contrast between Jourdain's extravagant attire and Nicole's humble appearance highlights their disparate positions within society. This print serves as both an artistic representation of a pivotal scene from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme and a glimpse into French culture during Molière's time. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as ambition, status-seeking, and social boundaries that continue to resonate today. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry by Charles Robert Leslie through Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded of its timeless appeal and its ability to transport us back to another era while still speaking to our
