Description

A 19th century Meissen Porcelain Group of Commedia Dell"arte, harlequin and columbine dancing. This example depicts Harlequin dancing with columbine in a very playful and vibrant manner. Harlequin is seen wearing a Classic diamond-patched costume with a pointy hat, while columbine is seen wearing another Classic clown-like dress attire with a purple top and floral pattern dress. Germany, circa 1850 The original Commedia Dell"arte, harlequin and columbine dancing was made by Meissen artist and modeler Joachim Johann Kandler in circa 1744. This adaptation is just one of many original 18th century examples of the Commedia Dell"arte also known as the Italian Comedy. These playful porcelain figures, originally designed by Meissen, were made to re-introduce the early 16th century improvisational comedy acts in the open-air markets of Padua, Italy.
