EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of "Cinna ou la Clemence d Auguste" by Pierre Corneille, a renowned French playwright from the 17th century. Published in 1643, this classical tragedy is an exquisite piece of literature that delves into the theme of leniency through the lens of Roman history. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as if inviting us to step into the world of ancient Rome. The intricate details on the title page draw our attention, showcasing Corneille's dedication to his craft. The play itself revolves around Emperor Augustus and explores his act of clemency towards Cinna, one of his conspirators. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of Seneca's influential work "De clementia" which served as inspiration for Corneille's masterpiece. This connection adds depth and historical significance to both pieces. Displayed proudly in Bibliotheque de la Comedie Francaise in Paris, France, this print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left by Corneille and his contribution to French theater. It transports us back in time while simultaneously highlighting timeless themes such as forgiveness and mercy. With its rich historical context and artistic allure, this print invites us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within it but also the profound impact that classical tragedies continue to have on contemporary audiences worldwide.
