EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an allegorical representation of playwright Paul Scarron dancing with satyrs, faunes, and maenads. The scene takes place in a picturesque open space within the forest, where these mythical creatures come together to celebrate the artistry of Scarron's plays. In this enchanting image, Satyrs and Faunes can be seen joyfully twirling around with tambourines in hand, while Maenads gracefully join them in their rhythmic dance. Amidst this lively atmosphere, Playwright Paul Scarron himself joins in the revelry, showcasing his passion for both writing and performance. Floating above them all are two putti accompanied by Terpsichore, holding a canvas that proudly displays the text: "Pieces de theater de Monsieur P. Scarron". This detail emphasizes the significance of this artwork as it was created specifically for a book edition featuring Scarron's plays. The intricate etching on paper captures every intricate detail of this magical moment - from the expressions on each character's face to their dynamic poses. It is evident that Jacob Folkema masterfully executed this piece between 1703 and 1767. This print serves as a testament to not only Paul Scarron's talent but also to the enduring power of storytelling through theater. It invites viewers into a world where myth and reality intertwine harmoniously under Folkema's skilled craftsmanship.
