EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare study for a second edition, never published, of Colles' renowned play "La Partie de Chasse de Henri IV". Created by the talented artist Hubert Francois Gravelot in the 18th century, this artwork is now housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The image depicts an intricate charcoal drawing on an oval-shaped gray laid paper. The delicate lines and shading are enhanced with black chalk and graphite, creating a stunning visual effect. The artwork is incised for transfer and perimeter mounted on ivory laid paper, adding depth to its composition. Gravelot's attention to detail is evident as he captures a scene from Act III, Scene 13 of Colles' comedy. Set in the French countryside during the reign of King Henri IV, we see a group of courtiers engaged in conversation. A female figure stands at the center while other characters surround her. This piece represents not only Gravelot's exceptional artistic skill but also his ability to bring historical narratives to life through his drawings. It serves as a testament to France's rich cultural heritage and provides viewers with a glimpse into 18th-century society. Displayed within the Art Institute's gallery space, this print invites art enthusiasts to appreciate Gravelot's contribution to French art history while immersing themselves in the beauty and charm of this scene from centuries past.
