EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Pierrot laments about his fate. He did not eat partridge or pasta" we are transported to a melancholic scene from the late 19th century. Pierrot, a beloved character from Italian comedy known as commedia dell'arte, is depicted in an attire that reflects both his European origins and his deep sadness. The artist Lorentz Froelich skillfully captures Pierrot's forlorn expression and posture, conveying a profound sense of unhappiness and melancholia. The intricate details engraved by Charles Emile Matthis and Charles Firmin Gillot further enhance the emotional depth of the artwork. This particular print originates from Pierre-Jules Hetzel's collection of songs and rounds of childhood published in Paris around 1880. It was supported by Paul Lacome's notation and features illustrations by Froelich himself. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear Pierrot singing ballads or serenading with heartfelt tunes. The absence of partridge or pate mentioned in verse 10 symbolizes his unfulfilled desires, adding another layer to his sorrowful state. Through this enchanting piece of art, we are reminded of the power music holds in expressing our deepest emotions. Pierrot becomes more than just a fictional character; he represents all those who have experienced sadness and longing. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even within the realm of imagination, our human emotions remain universal across time periods and cultures.
