EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a scene from "L Apothecaire" in 1645, an Italian comedy. The image is taken from the book "Masques et bouffons" which features text and drawings by Maurice Sand, with etchings by A. Manceau and a preface by Georges Sand. Published in 1860 by Michel Levy FrAres in Paris, this exquisite piece of art showcases the talent and creativity of these renowned artists. The engraving depicts an apothecary, surrounded by various medicinal herbs and potions that fill his shelves. His expression reveals both wisdom and curiosity as he carefully examines a vial held up to the light. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line and shadow brings life to the characters on the page. This image transports us back to a time when theater was at its peak, specifically within commedia dell'arte performances. It offers us a glimpse into the world of Italian comedy during the 17th century, where actors would don masks and perform improvised plays filled with humor and satire. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography has beautifully captured this historical moment from Maurice Sand's work, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value even today. As we admire this print, we are reminded of how art can transcend time, bringing history alive through visual storytelling.
