EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the renowned play "L'Avare" by Molière, engraved in 1740 by an anonymous French artist. The image depicts one of the most iconic characters in literature, Harpagon, known as "The Miser". Harpagon is portrayed as a wealthy but miserly man who values money above all else. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this timeless character, showcasing his obsession with wealth and material possessions. With meticulous attention to detail, every line and shadow brings Harpagon's personality to life. Molière, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622-1673), was a celebrated French playwright and actor. His works continue to be performed worldwide due to their wit, satire, and social commentary. This particular scene from "L'Avare" exemplifies Molière's ability to expose human flaws through humor. Stefano Bianchetti has masterfully preserved this historical moment through his lens. The costume design adds authenticity to the piece while highlighting the fashion trends of 18th-century France. As we gaze upon this intriguing engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in theater history. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, Molière's work remains relevant and continues to captivate audiences around the globe with its insightful portrayal of human nature.
