EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a painting by Dirk Hals, depicting a scene from the old game of Backgammon known as tric trac or tri-trac. Created between 1615 and 1625, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 0.38 X 0.53m and is currently housed in the Beaux Arts Museum in Lille, France. The painting captures the essence of leisure and joy as two tic-trac players engage in an intense match. The artist's attention to detail is evident in their elegant costumes and the meticulously painted game board before them. It transports us back to a time when homemade entertainment was cherished, accompanied perhaps by a drink or two. The Dutch painter Dirk Hals (1591-1656) skillfully brings this ancient game to life with his brushstrokes, showcasing his talent for capturing human interaction and emotions through art. The composition invites viewers into the world of these players, allowing us to imagine ourselves sitting at that very table, strategizing our next move. As we admire this artwork captured beautifully by Photo Josse, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage preserved within museums like Musee Des Beaux Arts in Lille. This photograph serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical significance—a visual tribute to centuries-old games that continue to bring people together across generations.
