EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the reign of Louis XIV, showcasing a Jeu de Paume game in all its glory. Based on a print from the renowned encyclopedia of Diderot and Alembert, this 18th-century artwork beautifully captures the essence of this popular French sport. The scene depicts players engaged in an intense match within the grandeur of a Jeu de Paume court. The elegant architecture surrounding them adds to the regal atmosphere, transporting us to a time when this game was enjoyed by nobility and commoners alike. The engraving skillfully portrays the energy and excitement that filled these courts during matches. The players' focused expressions reveal their determination to win, while their casual attire suggests an informal yet competitive environment. This snapshot into history reminds us that games have always been an important part of human culture, providing entertainment and fostering social connections. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every detail with precision, capturing not only the physicality but also the spirit of play. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how people found joy through sports even centuries ago. Displayed at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, this remarkable print is a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, certain aspects of human nature remain constant – our love for games being one such timeless pursuit.
