EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the character Fren. Theatre, also known as Marc-Aurel or Marc the Stonecutter, from the Commedia dell'Arte play "Les Neopolitaines" by Francois D'Amboise. Dated back to 1584, this image showcases the expressive and theatrical nature of the 16th century French theatre. Fren. Theatre, portrayed here with a mask symbolizing his character, is a lapidaire, or a stonecutter. He is known for his grumpy and misanthropic demeanor, often causing mischief and chaos in the plays. The mask, with its exaggerated features and intricate design, emphasizes the theatricality of the character and the art of Commedia dell'Arte. Francois D'Amboise was a prominent figure in the French theatre scene during the late 16th century. His plays, including "Les Neopolitaines," were popular for their witty dialogue, colorful characters, and elaborate costumes. The Commedia dell'Arte tradition, which originated in Italy, was a significant influence on French theatre and continues to be studied and performed to this day. This print is a testament to the rich history of French theatre and the enduring appeal of the Commedia dell'Arte tradition. It offers a glimpse into the world of 16th century theatre, where characters like Fren. Theatre came to life on stage and captivated audiences with their antics and humor.
