EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Il secondo libro di prospettiva" (The Second Book of Perspective), a remarkable work created by Sebastiano Serlio in 1566. The photograph was taken at the Musee national de la Renaissance in Ecouen, where this exquisite piece is housed. Serlio, a renowned architect and artist from Italy, crafted this book during the Mannerism period. It offers an intricate exploration of perspective techniques that were revolutionary for its time. The woodcut illustrations within the book depict various architectural designs and scenes from Italian theater and opera. In this particular image, we are drawn to a vibrant interior filled with characters synonymous with Commedia dell'arte - a popular form of comedy during the Renaissance era. Harlequin, Columbine, and Pulcinella (also known as Polichinelle) grace the scene with their colorful costumes and expressive gestures. Their presence adds an element of theatricality to Serlio's architectural masterpiece. The fine artistry displayed in this woodcut exemplifies Serlio's talent as both an architect and graphic artist. His attention to detail brings life to each character while maintaining precision in his depiction of architectural elements. This print serves as a visual testament to Serlio's significant contribution to art history. It allows us to appreciate his innovative perspective techniques alongside his ability to capture the essence of Italian theater within architecture.
