Roxane is a central character in Jean-Baptiste Racine's tragedy "Bajazet," which was first performed in 1672. The play is set in the Ottoman Empire and revolves around the complex and treacherous politics of the Sultan's court. Roxane is depicted as a powerful and manipulative figure, driven by intense emotions and personal ambitions. She is the Sultan's favorite and holds significant influence within the palace. Her character is marked by a blend of passion, jealousy, and ruthlessness, making her one of Racine's most compelling and multifaceted female characters.

In "Bajazet," Roxane's motivations are primarily driven by her love for Bajazet, the Sultan's brother, and her desire to see him ascend to power. Her love, however, is unrequited, and Bajazet's affections lie with Atalide, another key character in the play. This unreciprocated love fuels Roxane's jealousy and leads her to devise a series of plots and schemes to eliminate her rivals and secure her position. Her actions set off a chain of events that ultimately lead to tragedy, highlighting the destructive potential of unchecked ambition and passion.

Eugène Devéria, a prominent 19th-century French painter, captured the essence of Roxane in his artwork, bringing to life her complex character and the dramatic intensity of Racine's play. Devéria's portrayal of Roxane is notable for its vivid expression and attention to detail, reflecting the emotional depth and psychological intricacies of Racine's creation. His work contributes to the visual and cultural legacy of "Bajazet," offering audiences a visual representation of one of French classical theatre's most memorable characters. Through both Racine's text and Devéria's art, Roxane remains a powerful symbol of the interplay between love, power, and tragedy.
