EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Game of Mora" takes us back to 19th century Italy, showcasing a scene from the book "Italy from the Alps to Mount Etna". The artwork, created by an English School artist, is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a group of Romans engaged in the traditional game of mora. This ancient hand-gesture game was popular among Italians and played throughout Europe for centuries. The players are seen eagerly displaying their hands with fingers extended or closed in various combinations, trying to outwit each other and guess the total number shown. The intricate details captured by the artist transport us into this lively moment filled with anticipation and friendly competition. In the background, we catch glimpses of Rome's iconic architecture, reminding us of its rich history as well as its influence on European culture. As our eyes wander through this enchanting print, we cannot help but notice the Italian flag proudly waving in one corner—a symbol representing national pride and unity. It serves as a reminder that despite regional differences within Europe, there exists a sense of shared identity underpinning it all. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for future generations to appreciate and explore. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows enthusiasts worldwide to delve into Italy's cultural heritage while celebrating both historical moments and timeless traditions like mora.
