EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of camaraderie and leisure amidst the chaos of war. "Soldiers Playing Tric-Trac, 1653" by Gerbrandt van den Eeckhout captures a moment of respite for these Dutch soldiers during the tumultuous mid-17th century. The image showcases an intimate interior setting where soldiers can be seen engaging in various activities. Clad in breastplates and armor, they have temporarily set aside their weapons to indulge in moments of relaxation. A drum rests against the wall, symbolizing the rhythm that drives their lives on the battlefield. Amongst them, we notice a soldier holding a pike while another leans on his rifle nearby. These objects serve as reminders of their duty and constant readiness for combat. However, it is not warfare that occupies their minds at this particular instant; instead, they find solace in playing tric-trac - a popular board game similar to backgammon. This artwork beautifully juxtaposes two contrasting aspects of life: war and leisure. It reminds us that even amidst turmoil and danger, humans seek ways to escape reality momentarily – finding joy and connection through simple pleasures like games. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the universal human desire for peace amid chaos – an eternal longing that transcends time itself.
