EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a lively scene of 16th century European recreational activities, specifically the fighting game of barres or couppeteste. In the center, two teams of combatants engage in a fierce battle, each trying to outmaneuver and overpower their opponents. The intensity of the moment is palpable as they clash with fists and sticks, their faces contorted in determination and focus. The crowd around them, dressed in vibrant red clothing, watches with rapt attention, some cheering on their favorite team while others play a more lighthearted game of leapfrog. The game of barres or couppeteste was a popular pastime in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. It was played in a defined area, with teams of combatants facing each other and shouting the word "couppeteste" as they fought. The objective was to knock down the opposing team's members, using various techniques such as grappling, striking, and tripping. The game was often played with a sense of ritual and ceremony, and was considered a test of strength, agility, and strategy. This engraving is taken from Henry Rene Allemagne's "Sports and Games of Skill" (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse), published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903. The illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the energy and excitement of these ancient games and the diverse range of activities that entertained and brought people together in times long past.
