EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the work of Charles Emile Jacque, a renowned French artist from the 19th century. Titled "Emaciated Horse (recto); Frontal View of a Horse (verso), n. d" this piece captures the essence of both beauty and suffering in animals. The recto side depicts an emaciated horse, its skeletal frame visible through its thin coat. The artist's use of black chalk with charcoal heightened by touches of white chalk creates a striking contrast that emphasizes the horse's frailty. This haunting portrayal serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by animals during this era. On the verso side, we are presented with a frontal view of another horse. Although not explicitly stated, it is likely that this drawing represents a healthier animal in comparison to its emaciated counterpart on the recto side. The attention to detail and skillful execution highlight Jacque's mastery in capturing equine anatomy. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork reflects Barbizon School influences prevalent during that time period. It exemplifies Jacque's ability to convey emotion and tell stories through his drawings. As viewers engage with this powerful image, they are transported back to 19th-century France where horses played an integral role in rural life. Through his artistry, Charles Emile Jacque invites us to contemplate themes such as starvation and resilience while appreciating these majestic creatures' enduring spirit despite their hardships.
