EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Moliere, one of France's most renowned playwrights. In this image, we witness Moliere performing his play "The Imaginary Malad" on the very evening of his death, February 17th, 1673. The performance took place at the theatre hall of the Palais-Royal in Paris, specifically at the Comedie francaise. The chromotypography featured here is part of Gustave Toutwelve's work titled "Le Roy Soleil" which pays homage to Louis XIV. Maurice Leloir masterfully illustrates this scene with intricate detail and emotion. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we can't help but be struck by the irony and poignancy surrounding it. Moliere's final act on stage coincided with his ultimate departure from this world. It serves as a testament to his dedication and passion for theater until his last breath. This print transports us back to that fateful night over three centuries ago when spectators gathered at the Palais-Royal to witness Moliere's brilliance one last time. It reminds us not only of Moliere's immense talent but also of the enduring power and impact that art has on our lives. Displayed within a private collection today, Stefano Bianchetti expertly captured this historic engraving that encompasses themes such as mortality, artistic legacy, and human resilience through tragedy – all encapsulated within a single frame.
