EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the series "Balli di Sfessania" by Jacques Callot, created around 1622. The artwork, executed through eau forte on paper, depicts two iconic characters of the commedia dell'arte: Pulliciniello (Polichinelle or Pulcinella) and Signora Lucretia (Madame Lucrece). The enchanting scene captures the essence of this renowned Italian theatrical tradition with its vibrant energy and expressive gestures. Pulliciniello, known for his mischievous nature and comedic antics, is seen engaging with Signora Lucretia in a playful dance. Their intricate costumes and exaggerated facial expressions add to the charm of this piece. Measuring approximately 7.2x9.6cm, this engraving exemplifies Callot's exceptional skill in capturing movement and character within a confined space. It is part of a private collection that cherishes these remarkable works of art. Dating back to the early 17th century during the Baroque period, this illustration represents a significant contribution to both artistic and theatrical history. Its inclusion in the "Balli di Sfessania" series further emphasizes its importance as it explores themes of comedy and satire prevalent during that era. As we admire this print by Jean Bernard from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of commedia dell'arte unfold before our eyes—a testament to human creativity enduring across centuries.
