EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Brighella, a prominent character from the Italian Theatre. Engraved by Henri Reidel in 1914, this colour lithograph is part of the esteemed Masks and Characters of Italian Theatre edition featured in Le Journal des Dames et des Modes. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Umberto Brunelleschi, known for his exceptional talent in capturing theatrical subjects. In this image, Brighella stands proudly on stage, adorned with an intricately designed mask that conceals his true identity. His expressive eyes peer through the mask's openings, revealing a mischievous glint that hints at his cunning nature. With one hand gracefully holding a lit candle and the other clutching a weapon tightly concealed beneath his cloak, Brighella embodies both charm and danger. The attention to detail in this print is astounding – from the delicate folds of Brighella's costume to the intricate patterns adorning his mask. Every element contributes to creating an atmosphere filled with anticipation and mystery. As he takes a bow towards an unseen audience, we are left wondering about what mischief lies ahead for this enigmatic character. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history and allure of commedia dell'arte – where actors like Brighella brought laughter and entertainment to audiences throughout Italy. Displayed within private collections worldwide, including The Stapleton Collection, this stunning print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and artistic brilliance.
