Onstage in Amsterdam: Prints from the Schouwburg Theatre
September 9 - January 17, 2010
McNay Art Museum
6000 N. New Braunfels
The style of theatrical staging may have been imported from Italy by way of France, home of Bernini's Baroque illusionism, but the Schouwburg was as characteristically Dutch as Rembrandt's paintings. The draftsmen of the Schouwburg engravings resisted the temptation to be dazzled. Thanks to their clear-sighted observation, we could reconstruct the Amsterdam theatre settings today. The Schouwburg prints are also invaluable documents of costume. The engravings paid as much attention to the audience, who were free to come and go in the auditorium, as to the performers on stage. And, following theatrical practice current until the 20th century, actors wore contemporary European dress regardless of the time or place of the play. In Onstage in Amsterdam, visitors may compare the Amsterdam prints with a recent interpretation of 18th-century fashions, costumes for Les Liaisons Dangereuses, adapted from the 1782 novel by Choderlos de Laclos. www.mcnayart.org
