The Queen of the Hunt (La Reine de la Chasse) Artist: Paul Dubois (1829-1905) Year: 1895 Description: This image, titled "The Queen of the Hunt" or "La Reine de la Chasse," is a masterpiece by the renowned Belgian sculptor Paul Dubois. Created in 1895, this bronze statue embodies the spirit of the hunt and the power of the monarch. The queen, dressed in the regal attire of the era, is depicted in a dynamic and commanding pose, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon. She stands atop a galloping horse, her body poised for the chase. In her hand, she holds a hunting horn, signaling the start of the hunt. At her feet, a fox, the cunning and elusive quarry, lies subdued, its body entwined with the legs of the horse. The queen's dominance over the natural world is emphasized by her control over the wild beast. The intricate details of the horse's mane and the queen's flowing robes, as well as the realistic textures of the fox's fur, showcase Dubois' exceptional skill as a sculptor. The Queen of the Hunt is a testament to the enduring allure of the hunt and the power of the monarch. Dubois' mastery of form and detail elevates this work to a symbol of the majesty and strength of the queen, both in her role as a ruler and as a hunter. The statue continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and the story it tells of the power of the hunt and the monarch's connection to nature.
