EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le lievre" showcases the exquisite talent of the French School in the 19th century. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree in 1867-68. The artwork transports us to the serene countryside, with its lush green pastures and idyllic rural landscape. In this tranquil setting, we witness a scene from a hunt - a popular bloodsport during that era. State hunting was prevalent in France at the time, and this engraving captures the essence of that tradition. The focus of the image is on a group of rabbits or hares - their delicate forms beautifully rendered by the skilled engraver. These wildlife animals add life and movement to the composition while also representing farm livestock commonly found in rural areas. One cannot help but appreciate how meticulously every detail has been etched onto firwood. The texture and depth achieved through this medium bring out both realism and artistic expression. "Le lievre" serves as a reminder of European history and culture during this period. It offers us insight into not only hunting practices but also into everyday life in rural regions across France. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for all to admire – an enduring testament to human creativity throughout centuries gone by.
