This print titled "Checkers playing monks" by David van der Kellen (II) takes us back in time to a serene and contemplative scene. The image showcases a group of monks engrossed in a game of checkers, their faces displaying intense concentration as they strategize each move. Van der Kellen's masterful engraving technique brings out the intricate details of the monks' robes, capturing every fold and texture with precision. The composition is beautifully balanced, with the checkerboard positioned at the center, drawing our attention to the game being played. The artist's choice to depict monks engaged in such an ordinary pastime adds an intriguing layer of contrast and symbolism to this artwork. It reminds us that even those dedicated to spiritual pursuits find solace and enjoyment in simple pleasures like playing games. As we gaze upon this old master print from 1814-1879, we are transported into a world where time seems suspended. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in every stroke invites us to appreciate both the technical skill involved and the deeper meaning behind this seemingly mundane activity.
