EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a significant historical moment - the "Statement of Louis XIII (1601-43) on the comedians, 16th April 1641". Created by a French School artist in the 17th century, this engraving showcases an important declaration made by King Louis XIII regarding the dignity and importance of the actors' profession. Intriguingly preserved in a private collection, this image provides us with a glimpse into cultural policies and patronage during that era. The statement not only asserts the significance of theatrical expression but also serves as strong encouragement for actors to pursue their craft passionately. The sponsorship and support from influential figures like Louis XIII played a crucial role in shaping theater as we know it today. This photograph invites us to reflect upon how art has been shaped throughout history through royal patronage. While details about commercial use are excluded from this caption, it is evident that this artwork holds immense historical value.
