From the 18th century onwards, comedy increasingly imagines the stock type from within, pondering what it would feel like to be a fool or clown (see Figure 11).
11. Henry Fuseli, Fool in a Fool’s Cap Having His Portrait Painted (1757-9)
12. Nadar and Adrien Tournachon, Pierrot the Photographer (1854-5)
Fuseli’s painter is more sprightly than we might expect, his fool less so. It’s as though each man holds the key to the other. Similarly, when Felix Tournachon (Nadar) and his brother Adrien photographed the renowned French pantomimist Charles Deburau in his role as Pierrot, they too accentuated the self-reflexive nature of modern clowning (see Figure 12).
