EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "The Backgammon Players, 1866" we are transported to a bygone era where leisurely pastimes took center stage. Painted by Ignacio Leon y Escosura in oil on panel, this masterpiece captures the essence of concentration and camaraderie among the players. The scene unfolds in an intimate interior setting, with two men engrossed in their game of backgammon. One player stands behind the board, his eyes fixed on the dice as he contemplates his next move. The other sits opposite him, leaning forward with equal intensity. Their body language speaks volumes about their determination and competitive spirit. Escosura's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate patterns on the backgammon board to the folds of fabric draping over each figure. The warm hues and soft lighting create a cozy atmosphere that draws us into this timeless moment. As we gaze at this painting, we can almost hear the clatter of dice and feel the anticipation hanging in the air. It serves as a reminder that games have always been a source of entertainment and connection throughout history. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate Escosura's skillful portrayal of human emotion and interaction through artistry that has stood the test of time.
