EDITORS COMMENTS
Hounds with Wild-Fowl and Game," an exquisite oil painting by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, dating back to the 18th century, showcases the grandeur and elegance of French Rococo art. Painted in 1726, this masterpiece is now a cherished possession of the Statens Museum for Kunst, the National Gallery of Denmark. The painting depicts a lively scene of hunting dogs and their human handlers in the midst of a hunt. A group of Danish Danes, a breed known for their exceptional hunting abilities, are seen in various stages of pursuit. In the foreground, a boar lies upside down, defeated by the determined hounds. Above it, a wild pig, or Eurasian wild boar, is shown in mid-charge, its sharp tusks bared in defense. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of hunting in both France and Denmark during the Rococo era. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the dogs, their handlers, and the game birds, such as pheasants, add to the dynamic energy of the scene. The artist, Jean-Baptiste Oudry, a renowned figure of the Houdon family's studio in Paris, masterfully captures the essence of the hunt, making it a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The painting's rich, oil on canvas texture adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a captivating and immersive experience for the viewer. This stunning work of art, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a must-see at the National Gallery of Denmark, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of the Rococo era.
