EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Arlechino (Harlequin)" from the renowned publication "Masques et bouffons" by Maurice Sand. Published in 1860, this Italian comedy text and drawing collection features exquisite etchings by A. Manceau and a preface by Georges Sand. The image itself captures the essence of Arlechino, an iconic character from commedia dell'arte. Dressed in a vibrant costume adorned with colorful patches and diamond patterns, he exudes an air of mischievousness and playfulness. His mask conceals his true identity, allowing him to embody various roles on stage. Arlechino's exaggerated posture suggests his comedic nature as he strikes a dynamic pose with one hand on his hip while the other extends outward dramatically. The intricate details of the engraving bring out every fold in his clothing and every line on his face, showcasing the skillful artistry involved in creating this masterpiece. As we delve into this enchanting image, we are transported back to 17th-century Italy where commedia dell'arte reigned supreme. This theatrical tradition brought laughter to audiences through its lively performances filled with stock characters like Arlechino. This print serves as a testament to both Maurice Sand's artistic vision and Leonard de Selva's ability to capture its beauty through photography. It is truly a treasure for any lover of fine art or theater history alike.
