EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A backgammon party with strolling players" takes us back in time to a lively gathering in the Dutch countryside. Created by renowned engraver Crispin de Passe, this piece is part of his set of prints called Hortus Voluptatem. In the center of the image, we see a couple engrossed in a game of backgammon. Their expressions reveal their intense focus as they strategize their next move. However, their concentration is interrupted by five masked men who have joined the party unexpectedly. The masks add an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The atmosphere is filled with music as one man plays a lute while another musician accompanies him on a different instrument. The sound must have added to the excitement and merriment of this gathering. This engraving beautifully captures both leisure and entertainment during this era. It provides us with a glimpse into Dutch culture at that time - where games like backgammon were enjoyed alongside live music performances. Stefano Bianchetti's reproduction allows us to appreciate Crispin de Passe's intricate details and skillful craftsmanship even today. This print serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us through time and immerse us in different worlds.
