1645 Commedia Harlequin Lute Mandolin Mask Minstrel Musician
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of Com. Dell'arte Trivelino, a legendary Italian comedian and musician from the 17th century. Trivelino, whose name translates to "three-fold," is depicted here in the midst of a lively performance, his face obscured by the traditional Harlequin mask of the Commedia dell'Arte troupe. The mask, with its distinctive diamond-shaped design and inverted triangle, is a symbol of the character's mischievous and versatile nature. In his hands, Trivelino holds a mandolin, a popular stringed instrument of the time, which he skillfully plucks to accompany his comedic antics. The intricate details of the instrument's carved wood body and delicate strings add an air of authenticity to the scene, transporting us back to the bustling theaters of Renaissance Italy. The year is 1645, and the setting is the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, one of the most renowned venues for Commedia dell'Arte performances. Trivelino, as the Harlequin character, was known for his quick wit, physical comedy, and ability to seamlessly switch between various roles. His performances were a blend of music, dance, and improvisation, making him a beloved figure in the world of Italian theater. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the rich history of Commedia dell'Arte and the enduring legacy of its most iconic performers. The intricate details of Trivelino's costume, the authenticity of his mandolin, and the lively energy of the scene make this an essential addition to any collection devoted to the history of theater or Italian culture.
