Download or read book Commedia dell Arte in Context written by Christopher B. Balme and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The commedia dell'arte, the improvised Italian theatre that dominated the European stage from 1550 to 1750, is arguably the most famous theatre tradition to emerge from Europe in the early modern period. Its celebrated masks have come to symbolize theatre itself and have become part of the European cultural imagination. Over the past twenty years a revolution in commedia dell'arte scholarship has taken place, generated mainly by a number of distinguished Italian scholars. Their work, in which they have radically separated out the myth from the history of the phenomenon remains, however, largely untranslated into English (or any other language). The present volume gathers together these Italian and English-speaking scholars to synthesize for the first time this research for both specialist and non-specialist readers. The book is structured around key topics that span both the early modern period and the twentieth-century reinvention of the commedia dell'arte.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plays and Players in Modern Italy: Being a Study of the Italian Stage as Affected by the Political and Social Life Manners and Character of to-Day Before that little which is to be said on stage history has been set down, it is a little difficult to define the scope of the work intelligibly and without repetition. The range of the Italian theatre is exceedingly wide, and to treat of it all, historically and descriptively, would need volumes. There is a small and outlying Class of play which is in every sense a popular one - that is to say, in which the people (with a big P arrange the spectacle themselves, and in which actors and audience are of the same class. These plays are only briefly referred to in the text, but a few notes will be found on the subject in an appendix. Then there is the theatre in our ordinary English sense, which divides into three parts. But the difficulty of keeping the distinctions are considerable: firstly, because one part is far and away the greater; and secondly, because the other two - from a student's point of View at the opposite extremes - are historically linked together. We have, then, firstly, the theatre of conventional types, in which certain personages - such as Arlecchino, Brighella, Stenterello, &c. - whose clothes, manners, and part in the drama remain always the same, or nearly so; thirdly.

Download or read book The Spectacle of Clouds 1439 650 written by Alessandra Buccheri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies in which history of art and theatre are considered together are few, and none to date investigate the evolution of the representation of clouds from the early Renaissance to the Baroque period. This book reconsiders the origin of Italian Renaissance and Baroque cloud compositions while including the theatrical tradition as one of their most important sources. By examining visual sources such as paintings, frescos and stage designs, together with letters, guild-ledgers, descriptions of performances and relevant treatises, a new methodology to approach the development of this early modern visuality is offered. The result is an historical reconstruction where multiple factors are seen as facets of a single process which led to the development of Italy?s visual culture. The book also offers new insights into Leonardo da Vinci?s theatrical works, Raphael?s Disputa, Vasari?s Lives, and Pietro da Cortona?s fresco paintings. The Spectacle of Clouds, 1439-1650 examines the different ways Heaven has been conceived, imagined and represented from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century, crossing over into the fields of history, religion and philosophy.
