EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively street theatre performance of Bobeche and Galimafre, two renowned Parisian boulevard entertainers from the early 19th century. Painted by Jean Roller in 1820, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Antoine Mandelot, known as Bobeche, and Auguste Guerin, called Galimafre, in their element. The scene is set amidst a bustling street with a vibrant crowd eagerly gathered to witness the spectacle. The actors take center stage with their exaggerated gestures and comical expressions that bring laughter to both young and old alike. From the balcony above, curious onlookers observe the playfulness unfolding before them. This outdoor performance captivates its audience with its charm and wit. The popularity of these clowns is evident in the enthusiastic response from those watching. Their pantomime skills are showcased as they engage with each other and interact with members of the crowd. The painting not only captures a moment in time but also provides insight into popular entertainment during the French Empire and Restoration periods. It serves as a reminder of how street performances brought joy to people's lives long before modern forms of entertainment emerged.
