The Badminton Game is a painting of 1973 by the English painter David Inshaw.

He wrote about the painting: "my main aim was to produce a picture that held a moment in time, but unlike a photograph, which only records an event.

"[1] Its original title was a line from Thomas Hardy's poem "She, to Him": Remembering mine the loss is, not the blame.

According to The Guardian, it is "one of the most enduringly popular images in the museum's collection".

[1] In 2011 The Badminton Game was the subject of an episode in the BBC series Hidden Paintings of the West.
