Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Éditions Illustrées de Racine
Dans ses dessins, il suit fidèlement ces règles; les figures prennent sous son crayon le type exact que le poète fait rêver. Au reste, les compositions pour les pièces de Racine n'étaient qu'un délassement de sa main puis sante, qui se trouvait plus à l'aise dans les grands tableaux Où elle avait toute liberté de rendre, ce à quoi elle excel lait, les mouvements extérieurs de l'âme, les émotions que révèle la contraction des muscles et qui s'accusent par des gestes violents. Il est même un côté de ces créa tions poétiques dont il n'a pas rendu tout le charme, c'est le côté tendre et amoureux, que Racine a diversifié avec tant de soin, depuis la galanterie la plus déliée jusqu'aux dernières profondeurs de la passion. Mais où il se montre son égal, c'est dans la noblesse des attitudes et l'élégance des formes.
