EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 1506 print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the world of French Renaissance theatre, specifically the character of Le Pauvre, or The Poor Man, from the Farce de Deux Savetiers, or The Two Tinkers, an anonymous comedy of the commedia dell'arte tradition. The image captures Le Pauvre in a moment of despair, his cap askew on his head, a skull ominously present at his side, and his gaunt, haggard face etched with worry and sorrow. The historical context of this woodcut is significant, as the commedia dell'arte tradition emerged in Italy in the late 16th century and quickly spread throughout Europe, including France. The characters of commedia dell'arte, such as Le Pauvre, were archetypal figures who embodied universal human experiences and emotions, making them relatable and enduring. Le Pauvre, often depicted as a beggar or a vagabond, was a stock character known for his misfortunes and his penchant for getting into comedic predicaments. In the Farce de Deux Savetiers, he is the object of ridicule and manipulation by the other characters, the Two Tinkers, who exploit his poverty and naivete for their own amusement. Despite his hardships, Le Pauvre remains a sympathetic figure, and his plight resonated with audiences of the time. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the human condition and the enduring power of theatre to reflect and comment on the world around us. The intricate details of the woodcut, from the textured fabric of Le Pauvre's cap to the intricate lines of the skull, showcase the skill and artistry of the printmaker. The print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and a window into the world of French Renaissance theatre.
