ITALIAN RENAISSANCE MASKS: THE VENETIAN MASKS

Venetian masks depicted a variety of

characters in the theatre.

Theses masks are the basis of many

“classic” masks we see today.

The Bauta character had a shinning

white face worn with a black silk cape

by either men or women.

The Moreta or Murata was a black

velvet oval shaped mask worn by ladies.

NOH MASKS

In Japan masks belong to a highly developed

theatrical tradition that was originally religious.

Of all the Japanese masks the Noh mask is said to

be the most artistic one.

Originated in the 1200. At that time a very popular

performance was 'Dengaku no Noh' which translates

as 'Field-music Performance'

Its root were rustic acrobatic and juggling

exhibitions.

1300s, Noh had become a kind of opera in which

the performers recited while sitting next to each

other and then danced.

1400s another type of Noh, Sarugaku, which used

a lot of buffoonery, developed into a serious dramatic

performance.
