Pierre Corneille was a French dramatist whose eloquent language captured the heights of human emotion and conflict. His works became touchstones for later writers seeking to express the grandeur and tragedy of historical moments.
Description
Corneille has the refined features of a seventeenth-century literary gentleman, with pale skin from years of indoor work and dark hair styled in the fashion of his era. His eyes suggest both intelligence and creative intensity, and he wears the formal dark clothing of a French intellectual with the bearing of someone more comfortable with words than weapons.
