EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century lithograph, taken from Philips Wouwerman's painting "Sports and Games of Skill" (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse), showcases a thrilling moment at a village fete. The image centers around a man on horseback, dressed in armor, as he tilts his lance at a small ring that lies just beneath a wooden box. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation, as the rider focuses intently on his target. The village fete, a popular pastime during the 17th century, was an occasion for entertainment and fun. The "tilting at the ring" game, also known as "jousting" or "course de la bague," required great skill, strength, and precision. The rider would charge towards the box, aiming to spear the ring suspended above it with his lance. The simplicity of the game belied the challenge it presented, making it a favorite among the villagers. This enchanting illustration, produced by Henry Rene Allemagne in 1903, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such village fetes were a source of joy and amusement for communities. The lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the enduring appeal of such traditional pastimes and the human spirit that drives us to compete and have fun.
