EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases "The Game of Bowls (Le Jeu de Boule)" from the late 17th century. Created by Nicolas Arnoult, this coloured engraving takes us back in time to a world filled with excitement and danger. Intriguingly titled "La boule est un jeu dangereux" (The game of bowls is dangerous), this artwork captures the essence of risk and chance that comes with indulging in such games. The image depicts individuals engrossed in their game, surrounded by lush trees and wearing elaborate costumes. Their hats add a touch of elegance while headdresses adorn some heads, adding an air of mystery. What makes this artwork even more enchanting is the presence of children amidst the adults. Dressed in adorable dresses, they bring innocence and joy to the scene as they observe or perhaps participate in their own way. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print offers glimpses into various fields like botany, natural history, and science through its depiction of trees and scientific methods used during that era. It serves as a reminder that art can be both visually pleasing and educational. With its rich colors and intricate details captured through engraving techniques, this piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where love may strike unexpectedly but taking risks can lead to losing much more than anticipated.
