Created by the English School in the 17th century, this engraving captures a scene from Scarron's famous work, 'The Comical Romance of a Company of Stage Players. ' The narrative follows the hilarious adventures of a touring troupe of actors in the town of Le Mans. In this image, we see the essence of strolling players as they traverse through their theatrical journey. A lively group of performers can be seen on stage, engaging with their audience and delivering laughter-inducing performances. The comical nature of their play is evident through their exaggerated expressions and animated gestures. As they travel from place to place, these traveling players carry all their belongings on carts pulled by oxen. This depiction showcases not only the actors' dedication but also highlights the nomadic lifestyle they lead. Paul Scarron was a renowned French poet, dramatist, and novelist whose works were known for their wit and humor. 'The Comical Romance' exemplifies his talent for crafting comic narratives that entertain readers while offering insightful commentary on society. This stunning print allows us to immerse ourselves in an era where theater was at its prime and comedy reigned supreme.
