EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a lively game of backgammon in the 17th century. Painted by David Teniers the Younger, a renowned Flemish artist, this artwork showcases his mastery in capturing everyday scenes with remarkable detail and color. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling tavern or street cafe where several people gather around a backgammon board. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as players strategize their moves while enjoying drinks from jugs and carafes placed on the table. A playful puppy adds an element of charm to the composition, reminding us that even in leisure activities, animals can bring joy. The vibrant colors used by Teniers create a sense of liveliness and energy within the painting. The women present exude elegance and grace as they engage in friendly competition alongside their male counterparts. This depiction highlights how games like backgammon were enjoyed by both genders during this era. Teniers' attention to detail is evident not only in his portrayal of human figures but also in capturing various elements such as dice rolls and gambling activity surrounding the game. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back in time to experience an evening filled with entertainment and camaraderie. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this piece serves as a testament to Teniers' skillful brushwork and his ability to immortalize moments of leisure through art.
