EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "De Charybde en Scylla" transports viewers to the serene countryside of 19th century France. The print showcases a picturesque rural landscape with lush green pastures stretching as far as the eye can see. It captures the essence of rural life, depicting a scene that is both tranquil and idyllic. The focal point of this artwork is an exhilarating hunt taking place in this peaceful setting. State hunting was a popular bloodsport during this era, and it is beautifully illustrated here. The skilled engraver has meticulously captured every detail, from the hunters on horseback to their eager hounds chasing after their prey. Amongst the wildlife animals featured in this scene are hares and foxes. A Syrian hare darts across the fields while a vixen gracefully moves through the underbrush. These creatures add an element of wildness to an otherwise serene tableau. "De Charybde en Scylla" was originally created as an illustration for "La Chasse Illustree" a publication by Firmin Didot in 1871-72. This exquisite print offers us a glimpse into French hunting traditions during that time period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art history, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insight into European culture during the late 19th century.
