The mask Harlequin 1 …
Hand-decorated Venetian mask. This mask represents a typical character from the art comedy.
He rappresenta un cattivo stupido, di basso intelletto e costantemente deriso.
He is the typical Zanni and as such is constantly hungry, dreaming of abundance of food of all kinds. His costume, at first black with shades of gray, underwent various changes until it became the present outfit covered with patches of every color. His mask represents a demon and is meant to indicate the devilish origin of the character. See other original Venetian masks in the category Art Comedy.
