EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of history, depicting a miniature from the "Decret de Gratien" or "Concordia discordantium canonum" dating back to 1140. This ancient manuscript served as a regulatory guide for the laws and canons of the Roman Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 13th century, is housed in the Municipal Library of Laon, France. The focal point of this intricate miniature is an unexpected subject: "The game of bowling". It offers us a glimpse into leisure activities enjoyed by individuals during that era. The attention to detail in this illumination is remarkable; it captures players engaged in this medieval pastime with great precision. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when games were cherished moments amidst religious responsibilities and societal duties. It serves as a reminder that even within strict canonical law, there was room for joy and recreation. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography brings out every nuance and color present in this historical artifact. By preserving it through her lens, she allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance within the context of medieval society. This print truly encapsulates both artistry and history at their finest.
