Plate 34 of 38 from Oeuvres de J.B. Huet, 1796-99
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite etching on paper by the renowned French artist Jean Baptiste Marie Huet. This masterpiece, created during the Rococo era, showcases a captivating scene filled with mythological creatures and animals. At the center of the composition, a majestic eagle perches proudly, its sharp gaze fixed on the viewer. Surrounding the eagle are various cherubs, or amorini, playfully frolicking among the clouds. A cherubim, the most divine of cherubs, holds a banner bearing the artist's monogram. The lower half of the plate is populated by an array of animals, including a pelican, an eagle, a turkey, a boar, and an elephant. The wild boar, a European native, is shown in a fierce pose, while the Eurasian wild pig, a counterpart to the European wild boar, is depicted with its young. An eagle, with its powerful talons, is shown carrying off a turkey, while a pelican, a symbol of Christ's sacrifice, is shown with its beak in its pouch, feeding its young. This etching, a testament to the artistic prowess of Jean Baptiste Marie Huet, is a stunning example of the Rococo era's love for the natural world and its fascination with mythology. The black and white contrast adds depth and texture to the intricate details, making this a must-see for any art lover or historian. This plate is part of a larger series, "Oeuvres de J.B. Huet," and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Whether you're a fan of the 18th century, etchings, or simply appreciate the beauty of nature and mythology, this etching is sure to leave a lasting impression.
