The image showcases Corneille, the renowned playwright of the 17th century, engrossed in reading his tragedy of Polyeucte at the prestigious Hotel de Rambouillet. Taken from M. Guizot's "Histoire de France from the most remote times until 1789" this print offers a glimpse into an era when intellectual gatherings held immense importance. The composition exudes an air of elegance and refinement as Corneille sits amidst a gathering of intellectuals in a lavish salon. Surrounded by fellow writers, thinkers, and influencers, he is seen passionately immersed in his own creation – undoubtedly seeking inspiration or feedback from his esteemed peers.
