EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of rural Flemish life in the 17th century. Titled "Peasants playing Bowls in front of an Inn by a River" this painting by David Teniers the younger showcases a scene filled with recreation and leisure. The image transports us to a quaint countryside inn, where peasants gather to enjoy a game of bowls. The players are engrossed in their friendly competition, skillfully rolling wooden balls across the grassy field. Their rustic attire and humble surroundings reflect their simple way of life. Set against the backdrop of a serene river, this idyllic scene evokes feelings of tranquility and nostalgia. The public house stands proudly nearby, offering respite for weary travelers and locals alike. David Teniers masterfully captures every detail - from the vibrant colors that bring life to each character's face, to the meticulous brushstrokes that depict every blade of grass on which they stand. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also serves as a window into history. It was captured at Vitoria in 1813 during its capture by British forces from French control. Now part of Apsley House's collection in London, it is preserved for generations to come thanks to Historic England Photo Library. Immerse yourself in this enchanting glimpse into rural Flemish culture and let your imagination wander back through time as you explore "Teniers - Peasants playing Bowls. "
