EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FRANCE: ROYAL HUNT, 1691" takes us back to a bygone era of aristocracy and grandeur. The scene depicts an exhilarating hunt in the vast forests surrounding the majestic Palace of Versailles. Painted with meticulous detail on porcelain, this oil artwork from 1691 showcases the opulence and skill of French artists during that time. In the foreground, we witness one group of hunters engaged in a challenging task - untangling their loyal hounds from a slain stag. Their intense focus highlights their dedication to both the sport and their faithful companions. Meanwhile, another party closes in on a bounding stag, ready to continue the chase. The painting beautifully captures the essence of this royal pursuit; horsemen elegantly maneuver through dense foliage while blowing French horns that echo through the forest. The lush landscape serves as an enchanting backdrop for this thrilling spectacle. Created by Bradley Smith as part of his Carousel Collection, this piece transports us into history's embrace. It offers a glimpse into France's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted tradition of hunting among nobility. As we admire this masterpiece, let us appreciate not only its artistic brilliance but also its ability to transport us back in time – reminding us of an era when such pursuits were reserved for those who lived within palace walls or rode alongside kings and queens.
