| Series III. Portraits of actors, ca. 1599-ca. 1900
3 boxes, 4 flat file folders 66 prints
|
| The series comprises portrait prints of actors from the late 16th century to the early 20th century. There are several formal
portraits, including the one of Giovanni Gabrielli engraved by Agostino Carracci, the one of Raffaello Menicucci etched by
Ottavio Leoni, and the one based on a painting by Domenico Fetti, whose sitter is identified as Francesco Andreini, a
commedia dell'arte actor from the Compagnia dei Gelosi. However, the actors are most often shown on stage or performing the
roles for which they were famous. Often their faces are hidden behind masks; the print is a portrayal of their stage roles
rather than of their physical features. The series documents
commedia dell'arte actors who performed in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV, notably Angelo Constantini, Raymond Poisson,
Giuseppe Tortoriti, and Angelica Toscano. Nine prints show Joseph Grimaldi, in the role of clown, performing a variety of
pantomimes. Other portraits of actors playing
commedia dell'arte characters are included in Subseries IVa. The series is organized alphabetically by the actors' last names.
