EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fourth act of Andria, a Roman comedy adapted by Terence from a Greek play by Menander. The engraving, created by the French School in the 15th century, is part of Johann Trechsel's publication "Terentii Comoediae Sex" from Lyon in 1493. In this scene, we see a group of characters gathered on stage, each with their own unique gestures and expressions. The male figure stands tall, pointing towards something offstage with great emphasis. Meanwhile, a female character holds a baby in her arms, symbolizing the central theme of motherhood and family dynamics explored throughout the play. The intricate illustration showcases not only the skillful artistry of its creator but also provides insight into ancient Greek and Roman culture. It transports us back to an era where theater played an essential role in society as both entertainment and education. The presence of children further emphasizes the importance placed on familial relationships during that time period. From newborn infants to playful toddlers, these young ones represent hope for future generations and serve as a reminder that life continues to evolve even amidst comedic chaos. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact—a window into ancient storytelling techniques that continue to captivate audiences today.
