EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the moment when the great French dramatist Jean Racine (1639-1699) is led forward by his muse, Melpomene, to be crowned by Immortality. The scene is a testament to Racine's enduring legacy in the annals of literary history. Racine, depicted as a thoughtful and introspective figure, is dressed in the attire of the time, with quill in hand and a serious expression on his face. Melpomene, the muse of tragedy, is shown in classical attire, with a tragic mask on her face and a winged helmet on her head. She gently guides Racine towards the figure of Immortality, who is depicted as an angelic being with outstretched arms, holding a laurel wreath. The print also features the busts of Racine's contemporaries, Pierre Corneille and Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (Molière), emphasizing the importance of the literary scene in France during this period. The historical significance of this moment is further underscored by the ornate decorative elements in the background, including columns, scrolls, and other classical motifs. Jean Racine is considered one of the greatest French playwrights of all time, known for his powerful and emotional tragedies, including "Phèdre," "Andromaque," and "Britannicus." His works continue to be performed and studied around the world, making this print a fitting tribute to his enduring influence on the literary world.
