EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Game of the Hombre of the Princes of Europe - Hombre" is a powerful metaphor for international politics in 1685. The image depicts Europe being cut into pieces by uncontrolled sovereigns who treat their territories as personal property. Created by an unknown artist from the 17th century, this satirical piece follows the Treve of Regensburg, a treaty signed on August 15,1684, due to pressure from the Turkish threat. In this thought-provoking engraving, we see multiple figures representing various European monarchies engaging in a game that symbolizes their power struggles and political maneuvering. It serves as a stark reminder of how these rulers play with borders and alliances without considering the consequences for their people or neighboring nations. The presence of a woman symbolizing opposition and Turkey's influence adds another layer to this allegorical artwork. It highlights the complex dynamics between Europe and the Middle East during that time period. Stefano Bianchetti has beautifully captured this historical moment through his expert restoration work on this out-of-copyright piece. As you admire this black-and-white print, take a moment to reflect on how international relations have evolved since then while appreciating its artistic value and historical significance.
