"Die berühmte Serie der 16 Komödienfiguren wurde um 1760 von F. A. Bustelli für die Desserttafel des Münchner Hofes entworfen. Bei diesen "Komödianten handelt es sich ... um Figuren der Commedia dellarte, eines im 16. Jh. in Italien entstandenen Stegreiftheaters ohne festen Text, bei dem allein der Handlungsrahmen, eine Liebesgeschichte mit Hindernissen, vorgegeben war. Dabei traten stets die selben Personen auf, feste Charaktertypen in wiedererkennbaren Kostümen, deren Verhalten das Publikum vorausahnen konnte. Diese Form des Theaters lebte vom Witz und von der Improvisationskunst der Schauspieler und verdankte ihren besonderen Reiz der Möglichkeit, auf aktuelle politische oder gesellschaftliche Ereignisse sogleich zu reagieren und spontan auf sie anzuspielen. Vom derben Volkstheater zum fürstlichen Amüsement aufgestiegen, eroberte die Commedia dellarte rasch die Höfe Europas".

Cf. Hantschmann, Katharina, Italienische Komödie, in: Franz Anton Bustelli. Nymphenburger Porzellanfiguren des Rokoko. Munich (BNM) 2004, pages 254-263.
