EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite low relief sculpture of Jean Racine, a renowned French poet and playwright, created by the talented artist Denys Puech. The sculpture adorns the arcade of the Comedie Francaise in Paris, adding an air of sophistication and artistic beauty to this iconic theater. The profile carving showcases Racine's distinguished features with remarkable detail, capturing his essence as a writer and literary figure. The intricate lines and contours bring depth to his face, revealing both wisdom and vulnerability. It is a testament to Puech's skill as a sculptor that he was able to capture Racine's likeness so masterfully. Racine himself was a prominent figure in 17th-century French literature, known for his tragic plays that explored themes of love, power, and human nature. His works continue to be celebrated today for their poetic language and profound insights into the human condition. This photograph by Kim Youngtae beautifully highlights not only Puech's artistry but also pays homage to Racine's enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage found within the walls of the Comedie Francaise in Paris—a place where history comes alive through art.
