EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history, showcasing a group of monks from the Franciscan monastery of Gorheim, Germany, engaged in a peculiar ball game. The image offers a glimpse into the early monastic life of these individuals, highlighting their dedication to both religious practices and leisure activities. The monks are seen wearing traditional robes and displaying distinctive tonsures, emphasizing their commitment to their faith. Despite their solemn appearance, they appear to be thoroughly enjoying themselves as they play this mysterious game together. The setting of the historic monastery adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene, transporting viewers back in time to witness this fascinating moment firsthand. The presence of rosaries hanging from some of the monks' belts serves as a reminder of their devotion to prayer and meditation amidst moments of recreation. Overall, this print is not just a visual representation but also a historical document that sheds light on the lives and customs of these Franciscan monks during the 1930s in Germany. It invites us to reflect on how religion intertwined with daily activities for these individuals and provides valuable insight into a lesser-known aspect of monastic life.
