"Polichinelle Pulcinella: A Timeless Puppet Character" Step into the enchanting world of Polichinelle Pulcinella, a beloved puppet character that has captivated audiences for centuries. This mischievous and lovable figure has been immortalized in various forms of art, from engravings to lithographs, leaving a lasting impression on all who encounter him. In "Album-Alphabet, " an exquisite piece printed by A. Quinn in 1885, we find an enchanting engraving of Polichinelle himself. Created by Baron Ernest de Liphart, this illustration showcases the intricate details and whimsical charm that make Polichinelle so endearing. Another remarkable lithograph is found in Louis Edmond Duranty's "Theatre des marionnettes du jardin des Tuileries. " Here, we witness Polichinelle alongside his mother Gigogne in a delightful scene filled with laughter and joy. The masterful text and drawings by Duranty transport us to Paris in 1863, where these puppets come alive on stage. But it doesn't stop there. In this captivating collection of artwork, we also encounter other fascinating scenes featuring Polichinelle. From his retirement from the world to comical encounters with a black hen or even as an educator guiding others through life's lessons – each image brings forth new dimensions to this timeless character. As we delve deeper into these illustrations and lithographs, we can't help but be drawn into the magical realm of puppetry. Puppets et guignol take center stage as they entertain audiences young and old alike at the Jardin des Tuileries theater. One cannot overlook "The Mirror of Colombine, " another mesmerizing lithograph capturing Polichinelle's reflection as he gazes upon himself. It serves as a reminder that behind every playful facade lies depth and self-reflection.
