The Departure of the Poacher, 1781
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Nicolas-Bernard Lepicie that beautifully captures a poignant moment in time. The image depicts a young boy standing beside his father, who is preparing to embark on an illicit hunting expedition. With their hands tightly clasped together, the child holds onto his father's rifle while looking up at him with admiration and longing. The composition exudes a sense of anticipation and uncertainty as the pair stands at the threshold of departure. The poacher's shotgun rests against his shoulder, symbolizing both danger and survival in their clandestine pursuit. Meanwhile, a loyal dog faithfully accompanies them on this risky venture. Lepicie skillfully portrays the emotional bond between father and son through subtle details such as their matching clothing and similar facial features. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, creating an atmosphere charged with emotion. "The Departure of the Poacher" invites viewers to contemplate themes of family dynamics, tradition, and societal norms. It serves as a reminder that sometimes individuals are driven to break rules in order to provide for those they love or simply survive. This painting from Musee Joseph Dechelette in Roanne, France continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless depiction of human connection amidst challenging circumstances.
