EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece illustration from "Les Facheux" by Moliere, engraved by Jean Sauve in 1661. The image captures the essence of this comedic play and ballet performed at Vaux-le-Vicomte in honor of Louis XIV. The frontispiece, beautifully crafted by Pierre Brissart, transports us into a theatrical world filled with amusement and entertainment. It depicts a scene set on stage, where various characters come to life through their elaborate costumes and expressive gestures. In the forefront, we see a male servant or valet who plays an integral role in the play's plotline. His presence adds depth to the narrative as he interacts with other characters on stage. Behind him lies a meticulously designed stage set that further immerses us into this whimsical universe. Moliere's genius shines through this artwork as it encapsulates his ability to blend comedy and ballet seamlessly. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the skill of Jean Sauve but also Moliere's vision for his work. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of the timeless allure of theater and its power to transport us beyond reality. This print serves as a testament to Moliere's enduring legacy and continues to captivate audiences even centuries after its creation.
