Antique Art Nouveau Commedia Dell’Arte Painted Paravent/Screen Paris ca 1920
About the Item
This spectacular Art Nouveau Era Paravent/Screen is a true eye catcher and one of a kind piece of art full of fantasy and eccentric imagination.
It has been designed and painted in Italian Commedia dell'arte style -a female character, most likely Colombina, wearing so called Zanni mask (a Venetian carnival mask with extensively prolongated nose) and a typical Venetian Commedia dell'arte pattern costume of Arlecchino (Harlequin) - her lover.
The Paravent consists of 5 panels, every part is hand painted (Charcoal and Aquarell ) and all together it looks like one large painting.
Every element of each panel is smoothly continues further to the next scene making all five panels look so connected as it will be the same lady wearing same fabrics, just from a different angle.
The traditional Venetian mask has been exaggerated and painted as a bird’s face. It makes the Paravent look exotic, magical and undoubtedly attractive. The lady/ladies painted are half naked which brings a certain erotic feel to it.
Period of Art Nouveau was time of daring artists, painters, composers and designers, who were experimenting and trying new things and at the same time enjoying life in its fullest with no bounders to their imagination and talent.
This unique Paravent has been made out of strong and beautiful Mahogany wood which makes it heavy and solid. The back is padded and perfectly stitched and trimmed around linen cover each panel.
A truly magnificent unusual piece of art, rare find and a collector item of the highest period of Art Nouveau in Paris.
