The Compagnia dei Comici Gelosi, often referred to simply as the Gelosi, was one of the most renowned and influential commedia dell'arte troupes of the late Renaissance period. Founded in Italy in the mid-16th century, the Gelosi gained widespread acclaim for their improvisational performances, which combined elements of comedy, drama, and music. The troupe is particularly notable for its association with Isabella Andreini (1562-1604), one of the most celebrated actresses and playwrights of her time. Andreini's talent and charisma significantly contributed to the Gelosi's fame and success, both in Italy and across Europe.

A significant moment in the history of the Gelosi is depicted in a painting by Hieronymus Francken, which shows Isabella Andreini and her troupe performing in Paris. This artwork captures the essence of the commedia dell'arte tradition, highlighting the vibrant costumes, dynamic expressions, and lively interactions that characterized the Gelosi's performances. The painting serves as a valuable historical document, offering insight into the cultural exchange between Italy and France during the Renaissance and the impact of Italian theatrical traditions on European performing arts.

Isabella Andreini, often playing the role of the innamorata (young lover), was renowned for her eloquence, wit, and versatility. Her contributions to the commedia dell'arte were not limited to her performances; she was also a prolific writer, producing poems, plays, and letters that further cemented her legacy in the literary and theatrical worlds. The Gelosi, under her influence, became a symbol of artistic excellence and innovation, pushing the boundaries of traditional theater and leaving a lasting imprint on the development of European drama.

The Compagnia dei Comici Gelosi disbanded shortly after Andreini's death in 1604, but their legacy endured, influencing subsequent generations of performers and playwrights. The troupe's pioneering spirit and commitment to artistic expression continue to be celebrated and studied, reflecting the enduring appeal of commedia dell'arte and its impact on the evolution of theater.
