This copper-nickel medal pays tribute to Molière (1622–1673), one of France's greatest playwrights and actors, widely regarded as the father of French comedy. His works, such as "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," and "The Imaginary Invalid," remain integral to French culture and global theatre. This medal is part of a series celebrating "Les Grands Écrivains de France" (The Great Writers of France).
Specifications:
- Obverse Design: The obverse features a front-facing portrait of Molière, framed by the curtains of a theatre stage, with two theatrical masks symbolizing comedy and tragedy in the background. The legend "MOLIÈRE - 1622-1673" is inscribed, marking his life span.
- Reverse Design: The reverse showcases a semi-circular legend "GRANDS ÉCRIVAINS DE FRANCE," above an open book and a quill, symbolizing literature and writing. The design is adorned with various words associated with literature and Molière's influence, including "ART," "CULTURE," "CLASSIQUE," "POÉSIE," "PHILOSOPHIE," "COMÉDIE," and "LITTÉRATURE." The use of different font sizes adds a dynamic and artistic touch to the design.
- Composition: Copper-nickel
- Diameter: 40.5 mm
- Weight: 31.09 g
- Edge: Reeded ("cannelée")
- Condition: MS (Mint State)
- Comments: The medal is housed in a protective capsule, preserving its condition and maintaining its original luster.
Historical Context: Molière, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, transformed French theatre in the 17th century with his sharp wit, incisive social commentary, and innovative comedic style. His plays, often satirical and reflective of human nature, challenged the norms of his time while entertaining audiences with their humor and depth. Molière's influence extended beyond literature to the very language itself, with phrases from his works becoming part of everyday French. His death, famously occurring shortly after a performance of "The Imaginary Invalid," solidified his legend as a devoted artist who quite literally died on stage.
Significance: This medal is a meaningful collector's item for those passionate about literature, theatre, and French cultural history. It embodies the artistic legacy of Molière, celebrating his contributions to comedy, literature, and French heritage. The medal's design, blending theatrical elements with literary symbolism, makes it an attractive addition to any collection focused on cultural icons and their enduring legacies.
