EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively scene titled "Ladies and Gentlemen playing La Main Chaude" painted by Hieronymus Janssens in the mid-17th century. The artwork, found in the esteemed collection of the National Gallery, London, showcases an intimate gathering of individuals engaged in a spirited game. Set within an elegant interior, this painting offers a glimpse into the social customs and entertainment of its time. A group of elegantly dressed women and men are gathered together in a sitting room, engrossed in the game of La Main Chaude or Hot Cockles. Laughter fills the air as participants take turns blindfolding themselves while others playfully strike their hands. The atmosphere is one of merriment and amusement as guests enjoy each other's company during this evening soiree. The baroque style adds to the grandeur and sophistication of the occasion, with ornate furnishings adorning the room. Janssens skillfully captures not only the physicality but also conveys a sense of camaraderie among these visitors. This genre painting serves as both an invitation to witness this amorous gathering and an artistic representation that transcends time. With its rich colors and meticulous details rendered on wood using oil paint, this piece exemplifies fine art at its finest. It invites us to step back into history and experience firsthand how pleasure was derived from simple yet engaging games amongst friends in 17th-century Flanders.
