1672 Bajazet Confronts Letter Plays Racine Roxane
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment from Jean Racine's classic French play, "Bajazet," first performed in Paris in 1672. The image captures the intense confrontation between Bajazet, the Turkish sultan, and his wife Roxane, as she presents him with a damning letter. Racine's "Bajazet" is a tragic tale of love, betrayal, and revenge, set against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire. The play follows the story of Bajazet, a sultan who is deposed by his son Mehmed II, with the help of Roxane's father, Andronic. Roxane, who is in love with Bajazet, is torn between her loyalty to her father and her love for the deposed sultan. In this moment, Roxane has discovered the truth about her father's role in Bajazet's downfall and has come to confront him with the evidence. The print captures the raw emotion and intensity of the scene, with Roxane holding the letter out to Bajazet, her face a mask of anger and betrayal. Bajazet, on the other hand, is shown with a look of shock and despair, as he realizes the depth of the deception and the damage it has caused. The print is a testament to the power of Racine's writing and the enduring appeal of his tragic hero. The image captures the timeless themes of love, betrayal, and the human condition, making it a must-have for any collection of historical theatre prints or French literature.
