EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Marcus Stone, we are transported to a moment of leisure and camaraderie between Edward II and his beloved companion, Piers Gaveston. The image captures the essence of their close bond as they engage in their favorite pastime - playing bowls. The scene is filled with both joy and disapproval. While the two men revel in their game, there is an air of tension surrounding them. It is evident that not everyone approves of their friendship or the influence Gaveston holds over the king. Edward II, known for his unconventional reign, finds solace and comfort in Gaveston's presence. Their shared love for games serves as an escape from the pressures of court life and political turmoil. As they focus on rolling the bowls across the green lawn, one can't help but wonder about the conversations exchanged between these two figures. What secrets do they share? What dreams do they dare to envision? This print offers us a glimpse into history - a snapshot frozen in time that speaks volumes about power dynamics, forbidden relationships, and personal connections amidst a backdrop of royal intrigue. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' meticulous digital restoration work, we can appreciate every intricate detail captured by Stone's skilled hand. This artwork invites us to reflect on human nature itself - our need for companionship and acceptance even when faced with adversity.
