EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "The Jeu du Roi" takes us back to the grandeur of pre-revolutionary France. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is a testament to the opulence and splendor of the French monarchy. The scene depicted in this print showcases a game called "Jeu du Roi" which translates to "Game of the King". This popular pastime was enjoyed by members of the royal court at Versailles, during a time when Versailles served as both a palace and a symbol of absolute power. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this image transports us into an era where lavishness reigned supreme. The players are elegantly dressed in period costumes, reflecting their high social status. The atmosphere exudes sophistication and refinement, capturing the essence of French culture during that time. "The Jeu du Roi" serves as more than just an artistic representation; it also offers historical insight into life under the ancien régime in France. It reminds us of a bygone era when kings ruled with authority and extravagance knew no bounds. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but marvel at its ability to transport us back in time. It serves as a visual reminder that art has always been intertwined with history, allowing future generations to catch glimpses of moments long gone.
