EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the renowned Italian comedy "Masques et bouffons" specifically featuring Polichinelle. The image is taken from Maurice Sand's text and drawings, with exquisite etchings by A. Manceau, prefaced by Georges Sand. Published in 1860 by Michel Levy Freres in Paris, this piece captures the essence of commedia dell'arte. Polichinelle, also known as Pulcinella, takes center stage in his distinctive costume. With exaggerated features and expressive gestures, he embodies the spirit of this beloved character from Italian theater. The intricate engraving beautifully captures every detail of his attire and persona. The photograph was expertly captured by Leonard de Selva at the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. This remarkable composition not only pays homage to the rich history of commedia dell'arte but also highlights the artistic brilliance behind its creation. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when laughter echoed through grand theaters and Polichinelle's antics brought joy to audiences worldwide. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to transcend time and language barriers. With its impeccable craftsmanship and historical significance, this print is a true treasure for enthusiasts of theater history and fine art alike.
