EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Arlequin, Magicien et Barbier, pub. 1758" transports us back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of professions during that era. Created by Cornelis Troost in 1750, this print captures the essence of various trades and their tools. In the center of the composition sits a male figure adorned in an elaborate Harlequin costume - a symbol of entertainment and mischief. With his magical abilities intertwined with his barber skills, he captivates our imagination as we wonder about the wonders he can perform. To his right stands a barber surgeon engrossed in powdering a wig using specialized tools such as scissors and razors. The attention to detail is remarkable; one can almost feel the texture of hair being meticulously groomed. The presence of these two distinct professions side by side highlights their interconnectedness within society at that time. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly unrelated trades could coexist harmoniously while serving different purposes. As we delve deeper into this intriguing artwork from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, it becomes evident that it not only showcases skilled individuals but also sheds light on societal norms and expectations surrounding appearance and personal grooming during this period. Overall, "Arlequin, Magicien et Barbier" is more than just an engraving; it is a visual representation of history itself - capturing both everyday life and extraordinary talents within its intricate details.
