EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a woodcut from the renowned "Plantus, Comoediae" collection, created by Lazarus de Soardi in 1511. The image depicts an actor passionately addressing the audience in a theater, capturing the essence of live performance and theatrical artistry. This particular woodcut was first introduced in Soardi's 1497 edition of Terence's works and has since become one of the most iconic images in stage history. The photograph beautifully captures the historic charm of this sixteenth-century artwork, with its monochrome black and white composition adding to its timeless appeal. The actor's expressive gestures and intense gaze convey his dedication to his craft, while the attentive audience members reflect their engagement with the performance unfolding before them. Published in "The Connoisseur Volume L" in 1918, this print allows us to appreciate not only Lazarus de Soardi's artistic talent but also provides insight into early theatrical practices. It serves as a visual testament to Plautus' enduring influence on comedy throughout centuries. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry captured through time, we are reminded of how theater continues to captivate audiences today. Whether it be on grand stages or intimate venues, actors like those depicted here transport us into different worlds through their performances – bridging gaps between past and present cultures.
