EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in the life of Charles III of Bourbon, the esteemed King of Spain and the Kingdom of Two-Sicilies. Painted by Claude Joseph Vernet in 1746, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the king indulging in one of his favorite pastimes: duck hunting. The scene unfolds at Patria Lake, Italy, where King Charles III is depicted amidst a picturesque landscape. With its rolling hills and serene waters, this idyllic setting serves as the backdrop for an exhilarating hunt. The king's regal presence is accentuated by his royal attire and commanding stature. Accompanied by a fleet of boats manned by skilled hunters, King Charles III takes aim at a flock of ducks gracefully gliding across the lake's surface. His keen focus and determination are evident as he prepares to unleash his shot upon these elusive birds. This artwork not only celebrates the thrill of hunting but also pays homage to King Charles III's love for nature and outdoor pursuits. It offers viewers a glimpse into both his royal status and personal interests. Preserved within Château de Versailles in France, this painting stands as a testament to Vernet's artistic prowess and ability to capture dynamic scenes with remarkable detail. As we admire this piece today, we are transported back to 18th-century Europe when kings pursued their passions amidst breathtaking landscapes like Patria Lake.
