EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, titled "Portrait of a Husband and Wife Playing Tric-Trac" we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between a loving couple. Painted by the talented Jan Sanders van Hemessen, this artwork captures the essence of leisurely pastimes and marital bliss. The husband and wife sit across from each other at a beautifully adorned table, engrossed in a game of Tric-Trac. Their faces radiate joy as they strategize their moves with intense concentration. The game board is meticulously laid out before them, showcasing their shared love for intellectual challenges. Surrounding the couple are elements that add depth to the scene. A vibrant parrot perches on a nearby branch, observing the game with curiosity. Fruits adorn the table, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. These details hint at both their refined taste and comfortable lifestyle. Jan Sanders van Hemessen's attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke; his mastery of light and shadow brings life to each character portrayed. This painting not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us glimpses into 16th-century Dutch society – its fascination with games, botany, natural history, science, food – all captured within one frame. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate this masterpiece up close while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
