EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 17th century print captures the essence of French Theatre with its depiction of the character Symandre from the comedy "La Comédie des Comédiens" by Gougenot. Dated 1633, this work of art showcases the flair and elegance of the Commedia dell'Arte tradition that was popular during this period in France. Symandre, a charming and mischievous character, is depicted here wearing a colorful costume adorned with bells and garters, a signature look for the Commedia dell'Arte performers. He holds a flute in his hand, adding a musical element to the performance. The backdrop of the print features an elaborate theatrical setting, complete with a curtain and an audience, further emphasizing the theatrical nature of the scene. The title "La Comédie des Comédiens" translates to "The Comedy of Comedians," reflecting the self-referential and meta nature of the Commedia dell'Arte genre. This print provides a glimpse into the world of French Theatre during the 17th century, a time when the arts flourished and theatres were filled with laughter and joy. The print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Commedia dell'Arte tradition and the timeless nature of the performing arts. It invites us to imagine the lively and engaging performances that once brought audiences to their feet, and transports us to a world of laughter, music, and theatrical magic.
