EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in Chinese history during the late 19th century. Titled "Chinese playing Go game" it showcases a traditional leisure activity known as weiqi, or Go, being enjoyed by Chinese people. The artwork, created using gouache technique by an anonymous artist from the 19th century Chinese School, offers a glimpse into daily life and cultural practices of that era. The scene depicted in this image takes place indoors, within an intricately furnished room adorned with beautiful furniture. It provides us with a fascinating insight into the interior design and ambiance of that time period. The individuals engrossed in the game are seen deeply focused on their moves, highlighting the strategic nature of Go. Go is one of the oldest board games still played today and holds great significance in Chinese culture. Its origins can be traced back thousands of years to ancient China. This artwork serves as a testament to its enduring popularity throughout history. Preserved through time and now made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this historic photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill employed but also gain valuable insights into everyday life and pastimes cherished by generations gone by.
