EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Pulcinella (Polichinelle), a beloved character from Italian comedy. Taken from the book "Masques et bouffons" by Maurice Sand, this image showcases the intricate details and expressive nature of Pulcinella's mask and costume. The prints by A. Manceau beautifully bring to life Sand's text and drawings, while Georges Sand provides an insightful preface. Pulcinella, with his distinctive long nose and hunched posture, is a central figure in commedia dell'arte, a form of theater that originated in 16th-century Italy. Known for his mischievous antics and witty remarks, he has become an iconic symbol of Italian comedic tradition. The engraving expertly captures the spirit of Pulcinella as he disguises himself behind his mask, ready to entertain audiences with his physical comedy and quick wit. The attention to detail in this print allows viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such a complex character. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of Italian theater. It reminds us of the enduring power of laughter and entertainment across cultures and generations.
