EDITORS COMMENTS
A Wild Swan Attacked by a Dog, c. 1740, by Jean-Baptiste Oudry This print, created by the renowned French artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry around 1740, portrays a dramatic and poignant scene of a wild swan under attack from a relentless dog. The black and white drawing, executed in brush and gray wash and black gouache heightened with lead white, is a testament to Oudry's exceptional skill in capturing the raw emotion and energy of the moment. The swan, with its elegant neck arched in defense, appears both graceful and vulnerable, as it attempts to protect itself from the dog's unyielding jaws. The dog, on the other hand, is a picture of fierce determination, its muscles taut and eyes focused intently on its prey. The contrast between the delicate beauty of the swan and the raw power of the dog creates a striking juxtaposition, highlighting the inherent tension between nature and civilization. This print, which is now faded and laid down on cream board, is a rare surviving example of Oudry's work from the 18th century. It is a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as part of their extensive prints and drawings collection. The scene is reminiscent of the works of other notable French artists of the time, such as Houdon and Greuze, and reflects the cultural fascination with the natural world during the Enlightenment period. The print serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France and the enduring appeal of the natural world, which continues to inspire artists and audiences alike.
