EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving by Heinrich Leutemann takes us back to Ancient Egypt in 1866, showcasing a unique and thrilling water jousting event. The scene depicts a reconstitution of this ancient sport, set on the majestic Nile River. Intriguingly, rowboats resembling barques are seen gliding gracefully across the river's surface as spectators observe from the sidelines. The artist masterfully captures the essence of this historical period, transporting us to a time when such games were enjoyed during spare moments. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every stroke of the engraving brings life to each figure and element within the composition. From the vibrant colours used for costumes and boats to the expressions on both players' faces and those watching attentively, it is evident that Leutemann sought to recreate an authentic experience for his audience. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only Ancient Egyptian pastimes but also their rich cultural heritage. It serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate how leisure activities played an essential role in society even centuries ago. Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully preserved this piece of artistry through his meticulous reproduction technique. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but be transported back in time – immersing ourselves in the excitement and spectacle of water jousting along one of history's most iconic rivers.
