EDITORS COMMENTS
Capitaine Rodomont, a formidable and fearsome character from Remi Belleau's 16th-century comedy "La Reconnue," is depicted in this striking print from the annals of French theatre history. Dating back to 1564, this artwork showcases the imposing presence of Rodomont, a giant of a man with a menacing expression and a flowing beard. His costume, adorned with intricate details and rich fabrics, speaks of his noble status and military prowess. The title "Capitaine" indicates his rank as a captain in the army, adding to his formidable aura. Rodomont is a character from the commedia dell'arte tradition, a popular theatrical form that originated in Italy during the Renaissance. The commedia dell'arte repertoire was characterized by its improvisational style, stock characters, and universal themes. Rodomont, however, stands out for his unique blend of bravado, arrogance, and fear. He is a fearsome antagonist, known for his boasts and challenges, which often lead to comically chaotic situations. This print, a testament to the enduring appeal of Capitaine Rodomont and the commedia dell'arte tradition, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of 16th-century France. It invites us to imagine the excitement and wonder of live performances, where actors brought these larger-than-life characters to life, eliciting laughter and fear in equal measure from their audiences.
