EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ottavio, a fictional character from the Italian comedy "Masques et bouffons". Created by Maurice Sand in 1688, this exquisite piece of art is part of a larger collection that includes text and drawings by Sand himself. The etchings were skillfully done by A. Manceau, while the preface was written by Georges Sand. The image captures Ottavio in all his glory, with intricate details highlighting his costume and musical instrument. As a musician, Ottavio holds a flute delicately in his hands, ready to enchant audiences with his melodic tunes. His portrait exudes charisma and charm, reflecting the essence of commedia dell'arte. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overstated. It provides us with a glimpse into the world of Italian theater during the late 17th century. The commedia dell'arte tradition comes alive through Ottavio's portrayal as an imaginary character within this vibrant scene. Preserved by Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print allows us to appreciate Leonard de Selva's exceptional photography skills. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and artistry captured within these pages. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us celebrate the rich heritage of Italian comedy and its enduring impact on theatrical arts worldwide.
