"Polichinelle" is a captivating painting by the renowned French artist Édouard Manet, created in 1873. This work is often recognized by its Harris 80 and Guerin 79 catalog numbers, which reference its listings in prominent catalogues raisonnés of Manet's oeuvre. The painting is a striking example of Manet's ability to blend traditional and modern elements, capturing the essence of contemporary Parisian life while drawing on historical and theatrical themes.

The subject of "Polichinelle" is a figure from the commedia dell'arte, a form of theater that originated in Italy in the 16th century and became popular across Europe. Polichinelle, known as Punch in English-speaking countries, is a stock character known for his hunchback, hooked nose, and mischievous personality. Manet's depiction of Polichinelle is both playful and enigmatic, reflecting the artist's fascination with the theatrical and the grotesque.

In this painting, Manet employs his characteristic loose brushwork and bold use of color to bring Polichinelle to life. The figure is dressed in a traditional costume, complete with a pointed hat and ruffled collar, set against a dark, ambiguous background that enhances the dramatic effect. The composition is both dynamic and balanced, showcasing Manet's skill in capturing movement and emotion.

"Polichinelle" is notable not only for its subject matter but also for its place within Manet's broader body of work. During the early 1870s, Manet was increasingly interested in themes of modernity and the everyday, often depicting scenes from Parisian cafes, theaters, and streets. This painting, however, harks back to an earlier, more theatrical tradition, demonstrating Manet's versatility and deep engagement with art history.

The painting is housed in a private collection, making it less accessible to the public compared to some of Manet's other works. Nevertheless, "Polichinelle" remains an important piece for understanding the breadth of Manet's artistic exploration and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with a modern sensibility.
