EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from Jean Baptiste Oudry's tapestry, "Hunting of Louis XV: the death of the deer in the pond". Created in 1741, this masterpiece is housed at the Musee National Du Chateau in Compiegne, France. The image showcases a scene filled with action and emotion. In the foreground, we see a hunting party on horseback, led by King Louis XV himself. They are accompanied by their loyal hounds as they navigate through a serene pond. The king blows his horn to signal the chase while holding onto his musical instrument with determination. The focus of this particular moment lies on a majestic deer struggling for its life amidst the water. Its antlers rise above the surface as it fights against drowning. This intense struggle between man and beast creates an atmosphere of suspense and drama within Oudry's artwork. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each element depicted - from the intricate patterns on the tapestry itself to every ripple created by movement in water. It is evident that Oudry was not only skilled but also deeply passionate about capturing nature's beauty and power. This photograph allows us to appreciate this iconic piece of art even if we cannot witness it firsthand at Musee National Du Chateau. It serves as a reminder of both our fascination with hunting traditions during that era and our admiration for artistic mastery throughout history.
