EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithography print titled "Polichinelle et la mere Gigogne" takes us back to the enchanting world of the Theatre des marionnettes du jardin des Tuileries in Paris, circa 1863. Created by the talented Louis Edmond Duranty, this artwork captures a delightful scene from a French street performance. In the image, we see Polichinelle, a beloved character from commedia dell'arte, interacting with his mother Gigogne. Dressed in vibrant costumes, they bring joy and laughter to both children and adults alike. The intricate details of their attire highlight the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating these marionettes. The bustling street setting adds an element of liveliness to the composition. A horse-drawn carriage passes by as parents watch with amusement while holding their child's hand tightly. In one corner of the image, an instrument player provides melodic accompaniment to enhance the theatrical experience. Duranty's masterful use of lithography brings depth and texture to every line and shade on paper. The fine engravings beautifully capture not only Polichinelle's mischievous expression but also his exaggerated arm gestures that are characteristic of this iconic character. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era when live performances were cherished forms of entertainment for all ages. It transports us into a world filled with whimsy and wonderment where even farm animals like horses become partakers in this magical spectacle. Leonard de Selva has expertly preserved this historical gem through his private collection, allowing us to appreciate Duranty's artistic brilliance over a century later.
