EDITORS COMMENTS
The Top, from The Games of the Urchins of Paris, 1770 captures a delightful moment in the streets of 18th century Paris. In this black and white etching on ivory laid paper, artist Jean Baptiste Tilliard transports us to a bygone era filled with innocence and playfulness. The image depicts a group of street children engrossed in their favorite pastime - spinning tops. With their carefree expressions and animated gestures, these young boys embody the joy and freedom that can be found even amidst challenging circumstances. Tilliard's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate etched lines that define each figure's features to the texture of their clothing. Through his artistry, he not only captures a specific moment but also offers us a glimpse into the cultural heritage and leisure activities prevalent during this time period in France. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print is part of an extensive collection showcasing prints and drawings from various artists across centuries. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical documentation. As we admire this artwork today, let it remind us of the universal nature of childhood joys and how simple games like spinning tops have transcended time. Let it transport us back to an era where imagination reigned supreme on bustling Parisian streets.
