EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph, titled "Polichinelle et l Aubergiste" captures the essence of 19th-century French satire. Created by Jean Georges Vibert, a renowned artist of his time, this print showcases the fusion of art and political commentary. The scene depicts Polichinelle, a beloved character from Italian commedia dell'arte, engaging in a lively conversation with an innkeeper. The colorful cartoon-like imagery adds to the charm and playfulness of the artwork. It was originally published in Le Figaro Illustre in June 1891. Through this satirical drawing, Vibert cleverly intertwines elements of botany and natural history with politics. The intricate details suggest that scientific methods are being used to dissect political issues within France and Europe as a whole. The artist's scathing satire is evident as he critiques French culture, European Union policies, and even explores themes related to colonialism through references to French overseas departments and territories. This piece serves as both entertainment for its audience while also offering social commentary on contemporary events. "Polichinelle et l Aubergiste" is not only visually captivating but also intellectually stimulating due to its multi-layered symbolism. As it hangs proudly in private collections worldwide today, it continues to remind us of the power that art holds when combined with political discourse.
