Description |
English: A scene from the commedia dell'arte played in France before a noble audience, probably Flemish, possibly painted by a student of Frans Floris, according to the art historian Charles Sterling (1943, p. 18). It is one of the oldest images of the commedia dell'arte in France. Pantaloon is front and center on the stage. Just to to the right and slightly behind is an actor in motley costume, identified as Harlequin by both Duchartre and Sterling. The latter says it is "the oldest known version of Harlequin's costume." |

Notes |
English: The commedia dell'arte historian Pierre-Louis Duchartre (1929 [1966], pp. 84–86) identifies the artist as Paul Porbus the Elder or Frans Porbus. He also says the troupe is probably that of Zan Ganassa. Sterling takes issue with both these statements, saying that the painting is by none of the known members of the Pourbus family, not Pieter Pourbus, Frans Pourbus the Elder, or Frans Pourbus the Younger, but is probably by a Flemish artist, possibly a student of Frans Floris; and that there were many Italian troupes playing in France at this time, and it could be any one of them. However, both Duchartre and Sterling agee on the dating, and Katritzky (2006, p. 143) confirms that this dating is generally accepted. |
