EDITORS COMMENTS
La Roze, also known as Scaramouche, is a beloved character from the Commedia dell'Arte tradition in French Theatre, which emerged in the 16th century. This print, dated around 1640, depicts La Roze as a soldier, holding a guitar and accompanied by various musical instruments, including a lute, a flute, and a drum. The image showcases the character's playful and accomplished demeanor, as he engages in the art of Scaramouche, a form of musical comedy and satire. Commedia dell'Arte was a popular theatrical form that originated in Italy and spread throughout Europe, including France. It was characterized by improvisational performances, stock characters, and a focus on physical comedy. Scaramouche, one of the most iconic characters, was known for his quick wit, clever dialogue, and musical abilities. He often wore a mask with a long, curved nose and a bell on his hat, which became symbols of the character. This print offers a unique glimpse into the history of French Theatre and the world of Commedia dell'Arte. The image captures the essence of Scaramouche's charm and musical talent, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical theatre art. The presence of the guitar, a popular instrument during the Baroque period, adds to the authenticity of the scene and highlights the importance of music in the Commedia dell'Arte tradition. Overall, this print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Scaramouche and the rich history of French Theatre.
