EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the past with "The game of papegai in Brussels in 1652". Painted by David Teniers the Younger, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases a unique game that took place during that time. The game involved shooting at a target made of a bird, crafted from wood or cardboard and placed atop a tall pole. Measuring an impressive 172x247 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting offers more than just the central focus on the game; it also provides viewers with a view of the apse of the cathedral as well. The scene depicted is bustling with life and activity. A man on horseback takes aim at the wooden bird while an audience gathers around to witness his skill. The crowd consists of individuals from different social classes, showcasing both nobility and bourgeoisie members who have come together for this event. Intriguingly, this painting not only highlights traditional Flemish art but also reflects elements of fashion and masculinity prevalent during the 17th century. From elegant capes to stylish hats worn by men in attendance, every detail adds depth to this historical street scene. With its rich history and meticulous attention to detail, "The game of papegai" serves as both an artistic treasure and a window into European society's leisure activities centuries ago.
