EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Commedia dell Arte. Titled "The Dismissal of the Comedians after the Abolition of the Italian Comedie" it depicts a scene from 17th century France when King Louis XIV closed down the theatre of the Ancient Italian Comedie. The closure was prompted by a controversial play called "The False Prude" which directly targeted Francoise d Aubigne, Marquise (Madame) of Maintenon, who happened to be the king's favorite. In this painting by an anonymous French artist, we see Harlequin, Colombine, and Pierrot among other comedians being dismissed from their beloved theater. Their expressions are filled with sadness and disbelief as they face an uncertain future without their art form. Measuring 0.55x0.69 meters, this artwork is housed in Musee des Beaux Arts Andre Malraux in Le Havre, France. It serves as a poignant reminder of how artistic expression can sometimes clash with political power. Through this print captured by Photo Josse and made available through Fine Art Finder, viewers are transported back to that tumultuous time when comedy met tragedy on stage and its consequences reverberated throughout society.
