EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of Pantalon, a beloved character from the Italian Theatre edition of Le Journal des Dames et des Modes. Engraved by Henri Reidel in 1914, this colour litho piece showcases the remarkable talent and attention to detail of Umberto Brunelleschi, who created this masterpiece. Pantalon is depicted here as an elderly figure, donning a baddy cape and tiptoeing with mischievous intent. As a Venetian villain, he embodies the spirit of commedia dell'arte - a theatrical tradition that originated in Italy during the Renaissance. The rich history and cultural significance associated with this art form are beautifully portrayed through Pantalon's expressive features and elaborate costume. The enchanting backdrop of Venice adds to the allure of this image, evoking feelings of nostalgia for its viewers. The city's romantic charm is palpable as Pantalon sneaks through its narrow streets on his tiptoes, ready to engage in some comedic mischief. This print not only celebrates Italian theatre but also pays homage to European culture as a whole. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage within the European Union and highlights Italy's contribution to artistic expression throughout history. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this exquisite artwork from The Stapleton Collection continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and storytelling prowess.
