COPPIT - BOARD GAME

Product Information

De jonge Rembrandt onder tijdgenoten : godsdienst en schilderkunst in Leiden en Amsterdam, pp. 315-71 The basic game rules are simple: players take turns moving stones on a vertical board ” there are 12 stones for both players ” to form ‘coppits’. These pieces form patterns that can trap the opponent’s pieces or win points for the player. Points are given for forming a triangle formation (called ‘cop’), or by capturing your opponent’s stones.

So what if the greatest artist of the golden age did portray these people whose fortune depended on slavery? Portraiture was profitable and Rembrandt needed the money. In 1634, the year he painted this couple, he married Saskia van Uylenburgh, and they had wealthy tastes. Perhaps it means nothing that his clients included not just the filthy rich but also the morally besmirched. A century later, when dominance of the slave trade had passed to Britain, Thomas Gainsborough would paint faces and frills whether his subjects were musicians or slaveowners.

Viewing between the frames : Considering the display of Rembrandt's pendant marriage portraits, Deborah Babbage Iorns, p. 185, afb. 8 Wilhelm von Bode was impressed enough to include both in his set of 595 photogravures for his eight-volume 1898 treatise on Rembrandt. Fromentin and Bode had identified the paintings as portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Daey, but it was the Amsterdam historian Isabella Henriette van Eeghen who painstakingly traced their ownership to their original inventories and established the identities of the portrayed.

This second difference makes sense when you understand what the aim of the game is in Coppit. Rather than standard playing pieces each player has four cones, or hatsas they are known in Coppit. These all start off in your home base. Now, what you are trying to do is to be the last player standing, whilst all players try to capture other players hats. In other words, it’s a “running fight” board game. A corpus of Rembrandt paintings, J. Bruyn, D. Cook-Radmore, Karin Groen, L. Peese Binkhorst-Hoffscholte, Ernst van de Wetering, Vol. VI, cat.nr.

Originally created by Swiss game designer Carl Lallement in 1888, Coppit Board Game was the first ever French board game. It is known to be a very unique game with a classic strategy and simple but exciting gameplay. The reference to the name “Coppit” is unknown, however its original French name translates as “hoof”, which could suggest a link to horses or animal racing.

In that same year, 1661, Rembrandt was also working on a rare public commission that could have made him the darling of the Dutch elite again. He was asked to paint a patriotic history for Amsterdam town hall. But instead of a hearty scene of triumph, he painted The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis, a desperate, Lear-like scene, drawn from an account of the Batavian rebellion in Tacitus’s Histories. Showing rebels agreeing to what looks like a futile suicide pact in an eerie pale light, the work was hated for its bleak view of Dutch history. It is not hard to imagine that those same disabused eyes, that looked so unsparingly at the past, were also directed at the present, and the most shameful secret of Rembrandt’s time: Europe’s exploitation of Africa.

A 100, A101 Over time, Coppit has been widely popularized across Europe and North America, becoming one of the most widely played board games around. The popularity of the game began growing in 1868 after Russell & Erwin Manufacturing Company issued an iron version of the game for sale to locals. Later, similar versions would be issued for sale in various cities across the United States. Additionally, since its development various permutations of the original rules have been created making it even more widespread and accessible than before. Muñoz-Alonso, Lorena (18 March 2015).
