EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century watercolor with gum heightening on rough, thick cream wove paper, entitled "Elephant Asleep," is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist Antoine-Louis Barye. The painting depicts an Asian elephant, believed to be the one that arrived at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris in 1843, taking a peaceful slumber in a secluded clearing within the Forest of Fontainebleau. The warm hues of red and yellow in the background suggest that it is the evening hour, casting a romantic and serene atmosphere over the scene. Barye's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of wildlife is evident in this exquisite work of art. The elephant's intricately detailed body, with its wrinkled skin and powerful form, is rendered with remarkable precision and sensitivity. The artist's use of gum heightening adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the elephant's form to life and making the viewer feel as if they are witnessing the animal in its natural habitat. The Forest of Fontainebleau, located in the Seine-et-Marne department of France, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and naturalists alike. Barye's "Elephant Asleep" is a testament to the rich heritage of art and natural history that can be found in this beautiful forest. This painting is not only a stunning example of the artist's skill and creativity but also a valuable record of the natural world and the way animals behaved during the romantic era. The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, is fortunate to house this magnificent work of art in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world as captured by the masterful brush of Antoine-Louis Barye.
