EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Les petits epagneuls" transports us to the picturesque countryside of rural France. The print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of a bygone era when hunting was not just a sport but an integral part of rural life. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of lush green pastures and rolling hills, creating an idyllic rural landscape. A group of small spaniels, known as "les petits epagneuls" takes center stage in this artwork. These charming dogs were often used for hunting purposes due to their agility and keen sense of smell. Intricately detailed and beautifully rendered in black and white, the engraving showcases the skillful craftsmanship of its creator from the French School. It originally served as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree, a publication dedicated to all things related to hunting. The presence of these loyal canine companions hints at the excitement and thrill associated with state hunting during that time period. While bloodsports may be controversial today, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into historical practices surrounding wildlife management. As we admire this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of France's rich cultural heritage but also our connection to nature through animals like these adorable puppies who once roamed freely across Europe's vast landscapes.
