EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Scaramouche Entrant au Theatre" by Nicolas Bonnart, dates back to the late 17th century, circa 1678-1693. The image is a part of Bonnart's renowned series, "Recueil des modes de la cour de France," which documented the latest fashion trends in France during the Baroque era. The central figure of this composition is Scaramouche, a character from the Commedia dell'Arte, an Italian theatrical tradition popular in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Scaramouche is depicted standing before a playhouse, strumming a guitar, and wearing an all-black ensemble. The black color was a symbol of mourning and melancholy during this time, making Scaramouche's attire an intriguing choice. The ensemble includes a long, fitted coat, breeches, a waistcoat, and a lace collar. The intricate details of the clothing, from the textured fabric to the delicate lacework, are beautifully rendered in the engraving. The location of this scene is Paris, the cultural and artistic hub of Europe during the Baroque era. The image captures the essence of the era's fashion, music, and theatrical traditions. The engraving is a testament to the rich heritage of European art and serves as an invaluable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and art lovers alike. This magnificent work of art is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
