The Merchant Scene of Biblical Drama
This paper examines a ground-breaking innovation to medieval Easter plays: the creation of the extra-biblical merchant scene, in which the Marys purchase spices prior to their Visitatio Sepulchri . The patron of its earliest known representation was the female religious leader Uta von Kirchberg. An illuminated roundel in the Uta Codex she commissioned towards the end of her term as abbess of Niedermünster (1002–25), depicts the Holy women purchas…
Shakespearean Players in Early Modern Europe
From the records, we know that English players were active in many parts of Europe for almost a century, from the 1580s until their gradual decline in the later seventeenth century. For a number of reasons, research into this exceptionally transitory theatrical phenomenon, recognized for its crucial influence on the establishment of professional theatre in the German-speaking countries is particularly challenging. Not least, this is because the v…
Mountebanks, mummers and masqueraders in Thomas Platter’s diary (1595–1600) 1
The iconographie tradition of masked masqueraders and mummers is strong in illustrated alba amicorum, where it goes back to around 1570, with close compositional links between them, whether painted or engraved. As a physician, Thomas Platter had a lively professional interest in spectacles with any sort of medical slant to them, and recorded with particular attention traditional carnival practices and the activities of travelling entertainers and…
Reading the Actress in Commedia Imagery
Women had been performing in Europe and England long before the commedia dell’arte created the first female stars. Nonetheless, commedia troupes are rightly credited with pioneering the systematic promotion of professional actresses as celebrity performers. Soon the comici were drawing Italian audiences away from the amateur players of the regular comedy, who always used males for women’s roles. A better approach is to “read” individual pictures …
Transnational connections in early modern theatre
This volume explores the transnationality and interculturality of early modern performance in multiple languages, cultures, countries and genres. Its twelve essays compose a complex image of theatre connections as a socially, economically, politically and culturally rich tissue of networks and influences. With particular attention to itinerant performers, court festival, and the Black, Muslim and Jewish impact, they combine disciplines and method…
A Wonderfull Monster Borne in Germany’
Human hirsuteness, or pathological hair growth, can be symptomatic of various conditions, including genetic mutation or inheritance, and some cancers and hormonal disturbances. Modern investigations into hirsuteness were initiated by nineteenth‐century German physicians. Most early modern European cases of hypertrichosis (genetically determined all‐over body and facial hair) involve German‐speaking parentage or patronage, and are documented in Ge…

Harlequin in Renaissance Pictures
Harlequin in Renaissance pictures
Identifies and classifies early modern depictions of Harlequins and other comic performers in patched costume. The Harlequin costume can e traced to the commedia dell'arte tradition and seems to have been a role first established by Tristano Martinelli (1557-1630) while performing in Paris. Some early Harlequin depictions reflect specific performances by Martinelli himself, some are general depictions of stage practice and custom, and others are …
Lodewyk Toeput
Overviews the role of the visual record in studies of the early commedia dell'arte, and examines ten pictures attributed to Lodewyk Toeput (c.1550-1605) within the context of six stylistically and/or compositionally related groups of theatrical pictures associated with artists such as Ambrose I Francken, Joos de Momper, Louis de Caulery, Leandro Bassano, Marten de Vos and Sebastian Vrancx. Many of the twenty-nine pictures discussed are previously…
