EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 15th century, specifically to the year 1496, during the Middle Ages in France, where the world of medieval theatre came alive. The photograph depicts a scene from the popular farce, "La Farce du Munyer" or "Meunier," written by the renowned playwright Andre de la Vigne. In this comic morality play, the Devil, represented by the mischievous figure in the foreground, triumphantly holds up a bag containing the soul of a hapless miller. The Devil's delight is palpable, as evidenced by his grinning expression and the devilish horns and tail adorning his orange costume. The play, which served as a form of entertainment and a cautionary tale, explored the themes of morality and humor. The farce of "La Farce du Munyer" was a popular form of medieval theatre that originated in France during the late Middle Ages. These plays often featured stock characters, such as the Devil, and used physical comedy, slapstick humor, and satire to convey moral lessons to the audience. The play's popularity endured for centuries, making it an essential part of the European theatrical tradition. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre during the 1490s. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the human condition, even as it transports us back to a time long past.
