MEISSEN AND THE COMMEDIA DELL’ ARTE
Possibly the most renowned of all the eighteenth century porcelain figures created at Meissen is the series commissioned by the Duke of Sachsen – Weissenfels and executed by the modeller Reinicke with the help of Kaendler in 1744. There were eighteen figures in all, ten of which were based on the engravings by Francois Joullain from Louis Riccoboni’s Histoire du Theatre Italien which was published in Paris in 17
The theatre of the Commedia dell’arte flourished in Italy during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries although its roots go back even further. The performances were given by professional actors who travelled in troups throughout Italy performing on temporary stages in the city streets but also in the palaces of the nobility. Some of the troups became famous outside Italy and performed before the royal courts of Europe. They wore costumes that helped emphasize their characters and which enabled audiences to recognize and anticipate the behaviour of the actors.
Pantelone, represented in the engraving opposite, is probably the most recognisable of the Meissen Commedia dell’ arte figures from the Duke of Weissenfels series. He is a Venice merchant and he is always old. Sometimes a rich miser, sometimes a poor man. If he is rich he is a slave to his money. If he is married his wife is usually young and often deceiving him. He loves to give advice and is often the recipient of blows from his servant Harlequin’s slapstick. His costume was a long sleeved black robe, red jacket with red breeches and
stockings created together. On his feet he wore comfortable Turkish slippers.
