1584 Arte Character Commedia Dell Nose Odet
EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the 16th century, in the heart of France, comedy took the stage by storm. Among the most beloved characters of the time was Nivelet, the servant of Rodomont, in the play "Les Contents" by Odet de Turnebe. This mischievous and hilarious figure, with his distinctive long nose and bow, brought laughter and joy to audiences in the Commedia dell'Arte tradition. Nivelet, also known as Giangurgolo, was a faithful and loyal servant to his master Rodomont, but his antics often got him into trouble. His comedic timing and physical comedy were unmatched, making him a favorite among theatregoers. In this print from 1584, Nivelet is depicted in all his glory, with a playful smirk on his face and a bow in his hand. The French Theatre of the 16th century was a time of innovation and creativity, where actors wore masks and improvised their lines based on audience interaction. Nivelet, with his quick wit and comedic talent, was a master of this art form. His character, with its unique blend of humor and heart, continues to captivate audiences today, making him a true icon of French Theatre history. This beautiful print, a testament to the enduring legacy of Nivelet and the Commedia dell'Arte tradition, invites us to take a step back in time and experience the joy and laughter of the French Theatre of the 16th century.
