More about this artwork
"Truffaldin" (1912) by Ernst Stern is a captivating artwork that masterfully combines illustration and costume design. This painting portrays the figure Truffaldin, a character commonly associated with Commedia dell'Arte, a form of theatrical comedy that originated in Italy in the 16th century. Truffaldin, often known as a crafty and cunning servant, is depicted in a dynamic pose, suggesting movement and a playful demeanor.Ernst Stern has dressed Truffaldin in a traditional costume that is both colorful and detailed, indicating the character’s vibrant and mischievous nature. The costume features alternating patterns of stripes and solids, adorned with belts and a large cape, enhancing the theatrical quality of the character. The character wields a baton, which could symbolize his role in directing the comedic chaos typical of Commedia dell'Arte performances.The use of bold lines and minimal yet effective coloring draws attention to the costume’s texture and the character's expressive posture.
