EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the momentous reopening of the newly restored Theatre de la Comedie-Italienne after the death of Dominique, the renowned Arlequin, in 1688. The French School artist skillfully portrays this historical event with intricate detail and emotional depth. In the foreground, Colombine presents Mezzetin with the mask and baton, symbolizing his succession to Arlequin's role. Their costumes exude vibrancy against a backdrop that showcases their theatrical world. Meanwhile, in the background, we witness a poignant scene as Dominique's widow mourns at his tombstone. This juxtaposition of joy and sorrow serves as a reminder of life's fleeting nature. Reproduced from Pierre Landry's grand Almanach historique for 1689, this engraving is an illustration for Arthur Pougin's Dictionnaire du Theatre (Alcide Picard et Kaan, 1884). It not only commemorates an important milestone in theater history but also pays tribute to Dominique's legacy. The image evokes a sense of drama and performance while providing insight into historical events surrounding theater during this period. With its rich symbolism and attention to detail, it invites viewers to reflect on themes such as mortality and artistic continuity. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such engravings and their value as historical documents.
