1800 Commedia Pierrot Pulcinella Pulcinello
Pulcinello in the Commedia dell'Arte,
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Evans Picture Library, MEV000345 This image depicts the legendary character Pulcinello, a central figure in the Commedia dell'Arte, an influential form of Italian theater that emerged in the late 15th century. The Commedia dell'Arte was characterized by its improvisational performances, stock characters, and a rich blend of music, dance, and comedy. Pulcinello, also known as Pagliaccio or Pollicino, is a clown figure who is often portrayed as a rascal, a trickster, and a lover. He is typically dressed in a colorful, motley costume, featuring a large, conical hat, a long, baggy shirt, and a bell-bottomed pantaloons. In his hands, he holds a wooden sword, a symbol of his role as a fighter and protector. The image showcases Pulcinello in a moment of mischief, as he playfully brandishes his sword and gazes at the viewer with a sly, knowing smile. His expressive face, with its exaggerated features and theatrical makeup, captures the essence of the Commedia dell'Arte's larger-than-life performances. The background of the image is adorned with intricate, swirling patterns, evoking the vibrant and fantastical world of the Commedia dell'Arte. The rich colors and bold lines of the print transport us back to the 1800s, when the art of Pulcinello and his fellow Commedia dell'Arte characters continued to captivate audiences. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of the enduring legacy of Pulcinello and the Commedia dell'Arte, which has left an indelible mark on the world of theater and continues to inspire artists and performers to this day.
