EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the 16th century Louvre Palace in Paris, where the elegant game of real tennis was once played by the elite. The real tennis court, a precursor to modern tennis, was a popular pastime among the French monarchy and nobility. The photograph showcases the intricate design and architectural beauty of the court, with its distinctive red clay surface, high walls, and elegant arched windows. The court's dimensions were larger than a typical tennis court, measuring approximately 37 meters long and 18 meters wide, allowing for more space and complexity in the game. Real tennis, also known as "jeu de paume" or "game of the palm," was played indoors and required players to use their hands and rackets to hit the ball off the walls and ceiling. The game was more strategic and complex than its modern counterpart, with various rules and techniques that required a great deal of skill and agility. The Louvre real tennis court was built in the late 15th or early 16th century and was one of the finest examples of its kind in Europe. It was located in the Louvre's Galerie d'Apollon, which was also used for other recreational activities, such as hunting and archery. This photograph provides a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the luxurious and refined world of the French nobility during the Renaissance period. The elegant design and historical significance of the real tennis court at the Louvre continue to captivate and inspire us today, making it an essential part of the rich cultural heritage of Paris and France.
