EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a scene from Molière's renowned play, "Les Amants Magnifiques," first performed in France during the 1670s. Molière, a leading figure of the French literary scene, penned this masterpiece during the height of the 17th century, a time of grandeur and opulence at the French court. In this scene, we witness the moment of revelation as the deception between two lovers, Clitandre and Araminte, comes to light. The play revolves around their attempts to outwit one another in a series of comedic misunderstandings. In this moment, Clitandre, played by the figure on the left, discovers that Araminte, portrayed by the figure on the right, has been secretly seeing another man. The expression of shock and betrayal on Clitandre's face is palpable, while Araminte, with a sly smile, seems to relish in the moment. The elegant costumes and refined setting of the print underscore the opulence of the time, while the intricate details of the stage design and the expressive body language of the actors transport us back to the 17th century. This print offers a glimpse into the world of Molière's "Les Amants Magnifiques," a timeless work of art that continues to captivate audiences with its wit, charm, and insight into the complexities of love and relationships.
