EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting world of theatre in 1493. The image, a wood engraving from a collection of Roman playwright Terence's comedies printed by Jean Trechsel of Lyons, transports us to an intimate setting filled with anticipation and excitement. The scene unfolds within the walls of a magnificent Italian building, where people gather to indulge in the arts. As we peer into this medieval theater, we witness an audience eagerly awaiting the start of a performance. The atmosphere is electric as individuals from all walks of life come together for an evening of entertainment. The intricate details captured in this woodcut transport us directly into the heart of Rome during the 15th century. Every line etched on this monochrome masterpiece tells its own story - from the elaborate architecture surrounding the stage to the expressions on each face within the crowd. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear that drama was not limited to what unfolded on stage. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship, showcasing how printing techniques evolved over centuries. Through this remarkable piece by anonymous artist Jean Trechsel, we are reminded that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to transcend boundaries and captivate audiences across generations.
