EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Children's Games (Jeux des Enfants), 1731" by Francois Bernard Lepicie takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. The image, an etching and engraving, showcases a group of children immersed in various playful activities within an elegant indoor setting. The scene is filled with laughter and joy as boys and girls engage in games that reflect the innocence and imagination of childhood. From imitating messengers to mocking each other, these children find delight in their clever antics. The artist skillfully captures their lively expressions, highlighting the humor and camaraderie shared among them. Lepicie's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty spots adorning some of the characters' faces but also the intricate clothing worn during this era. Despite being set indoors, there is a sense of freedom conveyed through the nakedness of one child, reminding us that play knows no boundaries or inhibitions. As we gaze upon this artwork from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported into a world where leisure time was cherished and valued. It serves as a timeless reminder that regardless of our age or century lived in, play remains an essential part of human existence – fostering creativity, social interaction, and pure enjoyment.
