EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Lelio draws from 'Masques et bouffons' (Italian comedy)" by Maurice Sand. The artwork was published in Paris in 1860 and features text and drawings by Sand, with engravings by A. Manceau and a preface by Georges Sand. The image captures the essence of Italian comedy, known as commedia dell'arte, during the 18th century. The engraving depicts Lelio, a character from the Italian comedy tradition, engrossed in his artistic pursuit. With focused determination, he delicately sketches on paper while surrounded by various theatrical masks and costumes that symbolize the vibrant world of masquerade theater. The composition is rich in color and detail, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of both Sand's illustrations and Manceau's engravings. Each line seems to come alive on paper, capturing the spirit of this timeless art form. This print offers viewers a glimpse into a fascinating era where laughter reigned supreme on stage. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to different times and cultures. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this enchanting piece through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come.
