Adrien Arte Capitaine Capitan Character Comedie Commedia Dell
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the captivating moment from the early 17th century French play "La Comédie de Proverbes" by Adrien de Montluc, featuring the renowned character Fierabras, also known as Capitaine Fierabras or Capitaine Spezzafer. The play, a masterpiece of the Commedia dell'Arte tradition, was first performed around 1610. In this scene, Fierabras, portrayed as a brave and proud knight, is shown in a dramatic pose, his sword raised high and his eyes fixed on the horizon. His imposing figure, dressed in full armor, exudes strength and determination. The intricate details of his armor, from the embossed patterns to the meticulously crafted helmet, are beautifully rendered in the print. The backdrop of the print is a serene landscape, with rolling hills and a peaceful river, adding to the sense of tranquility and beauty. The contrast between the stillness of the natural world and the dynamic energy of Fierabras creates a striking visual effect. The print, which dates back to the early 17th century, is a testament to the enduring appeal of French theatre and the iconic status of Fierabras as a beloved character in the annals of Commedia dell'Arte. The print's preservation through the centuries is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the performing arts in France and beyond.
