EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a scene from Act II of the renowned theatre piece "L'amour médecin" by Molière. The image showcases Lucinde, the daughter of Sganarelle, being examined by four incompetent doctors. The 17th-century French School artwork beautifully portrays the comical nature of this moment in the play. Lucinde's expression is one of both curiosity and apprehension as she sits before these bumbling physicians who are supposed to provide her with medical advice. The intricate details in the costumes highlight the historical context of this theatrical masterpiece. The engraving transports us back to a time when medicine was still evolving, and doctors were often seen as figures worthy of satire. Molière's wit shines through in this scene as he cleverly critiques not only the incompetence of certain doctors but also societal expectations surrounding love and marriage during that era. This print serves as a reminder of Molière's genius and his ability to use humor to shed light on human folly. It captures an iconic moment from "L'amour médecin" showcasing both its artistic value and its timeless relevance. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving, we are reminded once again why Molière remains one of history's most celebrated playwrights, whose works continue to entertain audiences centuries later.
