EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century print depicts a scene from the Farce de Calbain, or the New Farce about a Cobbler named Calbain, a popular comedic play from the medieval and middle ages of French theatre. The farce genre was known for its light-hearted, humorous performances that often satirized everyday life and human nature. In this print, we see the cobbler Calbain's wife holding tightly onto the moneybag, a symbol of her control over the family finances. Calbain, dressed in his cobbler's apron, looks on in surprise and perhaps frustration, as his wife's grip on the bag remains unyielding. The expression on her face suggests a determination to keep the money for herself, adding to the comedic element of the scene. The Farce de Calbain is believed to have originated in the 15th or 16th century and was likely performed in various forms throughout Europe during the medieval and Renaissance periods. The play's focus on the themes of marriage, money, and the power dynamics within relationships would have resonated with audiences of the time, making it a popular choice for entertainment. This print offers a glimpse into the world of medieval French theatre and the enduring appeal of farce as a genre. With its humorous portrayal of everyday life and relatable themes, the Farce de Calbain continues to captivate audiences and scholars alike, offering a window into the past and the rich history of European theatre.
