Si la place singulière des jeux de parcours et de hasard dans l'Antiquité et au Moyen Age est largement traitée dans la littérature, elle n'a que très rarement été abordée par le biais d'une exposition. Le présent catalogue se propose aujourd'hui d'évoquer certains des plus prestigieux de ces jeux, depuis l'époque de leur invention jusqu'à leur usage dans le monde médiéval. Ces jeux ont été, dès leur création, porteurs d'enjeux allant bien au-delà du simple délassement récréatif. De récentes découvertes archéologiques et historiques sont venues éclairer les évolutions - et les permanences - des jeux à règles. L'ouvrage en rend compte à travers une large sélection de plateaux et accessoires, qui illustrent à la fois les principales catégories de jeux et la force symbolique attachée à leur pratique.

This collection of essays examines the vogue for games and game playing as expressed in art and literature in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe. Focusing on games as a leitmotif of creative expression, these scholarly inquiries are framed as a response to two main questions: how were games used to convey special meanings in art and literature, and how did games speak to greater issues in European society? In chapters dealing with chess, playing cards, board games, dice, gambling, and outdoor and sportive games, essayists show how games were used by artists, writers, game makers and collectors, in the service of love and war, didactic and moralistic instruction, commercial enterprise, politics and diplomacy, and assertions of civic and personal identity. Offering innovative iconographical and literary interpretations, their analyses reveal how games 'played, written about, illustrated and collected' functioned as metaphors for a host of broader cultural issues related to gender relations and feminine power, class distinctions and status, ethical and sexual comportment, philosophical and religious ideas, and conditions of the mind.
