Abstract

This book chapter analyses new visual documentary evidence of English travelling actors in seventeenth-century Poland with a special view to the theatrical culture of Ladislaus IV's (1595-1648) royal court. The centre piece of the chapter is analyses of a theatrical scene on a curtained stage in the right-hand wing of Allegory of Pride (National Museum of Poznań Mp.2256), painted around 1604 by the Danzig born Polish court artist Herman Han (c.1575-1628), and of "Kund und zu wissen sey meniglich das hir ankomen ist ein frembter Kunstler" (c.1643), a hand-coloured printed publicity broadside for the troupe of Simon Dannenfels.
