EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the world of commedia dell'arte, a form of Italian theatre that flourished in the 16th century. The scene depicted is filled with drama and intrigue as Orlandin, played by a dashing actor, appears to be attempting to carry off Fiuma, portrayed by a graceful dancer. However, their plans are thwarted by the watchful eye of her tutor who stands nearby, ready to intervene.
The costumes and gestures of the performers capture the essence of commedia dell'arte perfectly - with exaggerated expressions and movements adding depth and emotion to the characters. The historical setting further enhances the authenticity of this snapshot from a bygone era.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where theatre was not just entertainment but an art form that reflected society's values and beliefs. The intricate dance between Orlandin and Fiuma symbolizes desire and passion while the presence of her tutor serves as a reminder that love is not always easy or straightforward.
Mary Evans Prints Online has truly captured the essence of commedia dell'arte in this stunning photograph, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and complexity for years to come.
