Theater with puppets - it's wonderful! need to find some medieval paintings of this.

From;
Li Romans du Bon Roi Alixandre 1344


Very small pics but that´s all I could find.

btw. for all kind of ideas, here is an old bible, which were made for the crusaders, only with pictures:

46 Pictures

the bible was made around the year 1245 and you'll find pictures like that:

Mummers!!!

nice!!!!

btw. now I remeber a little detail, these kind of "workers" often wear some little bells (jingle bells?) around their ankles. Only nice to know (or maybe you are such kind of wired, you try this, I think )

Jesters had bells for sure but I think the bells on the ankles comes from shakespear´s time..an attempt to make fun of the order of the garter.(but I´m not 100% sure)
Alex´s fig could be a "fool"
He looks like Bosch´s fool (top right)

or a Buffor (Buffoon/Fool)..the right hand fig

Jesters




I cannot find any pictures in my collection (I like clowns ) of clowns/Jesters or fools with ankle bells until the 17th cent.

great one!!!!

They are so beautiful and life-full : just look like real men!

Brilliant!
This is a set I really want!
