The Rare Bird, c1850-1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Stanislas Lepine. Although not typically associated with Impressionism, Lepine's participation in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874 reveals his versatility and willingness to explore new artistic movements. This particular artwork depicts a scene from the 19th century, where a family gathers in the French countryside for an intriguing bird-catching expedition. The central focus of the image is a rare and majestic bird perched on a branch. Its vibrant colors and exquisite plumage make it truly remarkable. A female figure dressed in an elegant gown stands beside her son, gently feeding another bird nearby. Her hand rests affectionately on her son's shoulder as they both squint their eyes to observe this extraordinary creature up close. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and wonderment as if time has momentarily frozen to capture this magical encounter between humans and nature. The artist skillfully employs oil paints to bring out every intricate detail of the birds' wings while infusing warmth into the surrounding landscape. Stanislas Lepine's untimely death in Paris in 1892 adds an air of mystery to this already enigmatic piece. As we admire "The Rare Bird" we are transported back to a bygone era when art celebrated both human connection and our fascination with all things rare and beautiful.
