EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Arlequin et la mort (Harlequin and Death)" by Konstantin Andreyevich Somov, a renowned Russian artist of the 20th century. Created in 1918, this piece is an exquisite combination of watercolor, gouache, and ink on paper measuring 28.5x22.5 cm. The painting depicts the iconic character Harlequin from commedia dell'arte engaged in a profound encounter with Death. The allegorical scene is brought to life through vibrant colors and intricate details that highlight Somov's mastery as an artist. Harlequin stands tall, adorned in his traditional colorful costume while holding a Chinese lantern that illuminates the night sky. In stark contrast, Death appears as a haunting figure wearing a skeletal mask and cloak. The composition evokes both intrigue and contemplation as it explores themes of mortality and the transient nature of life. Through this mesmerizing artwork, Somov invites viewers to reflect upon their own existence and contemplate the inevitable dance between life and death. This particular print captures every nuance of Somov's original masterpiece with remarkable clarity. It serves as a testament to Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving fine art for future generations to appreciate and admire.
