EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Monks playing bowls" takes us back to 19th century Italy. The image showcases a group of monks engaged in a friendly game of bowls, set against the picturesque backdrop of Emilia. The scene exudes tranquility and camaraderie as the monks concentrate on their throws, each one hoping to outdo the other. Their robes billow gently in the breeze, adding an ethereal touch to this serene moment captured by an English School artist. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "Italy from the Alps to Mount Etna" published by Chapman and Hall in 1878. It beautifully depicts a leisurely pastime enjoyed by Italians during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when simplicity reigned supreme and games like bowling brought people together across Europe. The Italian flag proudly displayed in the background serves as a reminder of national pride and unity within the European Union. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us all to appreciate today. Let it serve as a testament to not only Italy's rich cultural heritage but also our universal need for recreation and connection with others through play.
