This print shows a scene from a play staged at the Medici Theatre in Florence. It’s part of a series of six etchings made by Giulio Parigi around 1619. The series was based on the play “Il Solimano” by Prosper Bonarelli. It’s one of six prints made for the same play. The Medici Theatre in Florence was a real place where performances happened. Next time, look up the artist Giulio Parigi.
