Trophy of the Hunt, c. 1867. Creator: Adolphe Braun (French, 1812-1877)
Trophy of the Hunt, c. 1867. This rare photograph is from a small group (fewer than ten known negatives) of large-scale still lifes of game and hunting paraphernalia. Printed directly from a 31-x-24-inch glass negative, the photograph provides an abundance of textural information. The complex composition of overlapping forms consists of a rifle, powder horn, game bag, tree branches with leaves, and six fowl, probably three partridges and three pheasants, all tacked to a plain, richly grained wooden wall or door. Braun most likely intended such large-scale photographs to compete aesthetically with paintings of similar subject and composition

Trophy of the Hunt, c. 1867
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that showcases Adolphe Braun's mastery in capturing still lifes of game and hunting paraphernalia. This rare print, one of fewer than ten known negatives, offers an extraordinary level of detail and texture. Printed directly from a large glass negative measuring 31 x 24 inches, this photograph immerses viewers in a world rich with visual information. The composition is complex yet harmonious, featuring overlapping forms such as a rifle, powder horn, game bag, tree branches adorned with leaves, and six magnificent fowl – three partridges and three pheasants – all meticulously arranged on a plain wooden wall or door with exquisite grain patterns. Braun's intention was likely to create large-scale photographs that could rival paintings in terms of aesthetic appeal and subject matter. By employing his technical expertise and artistic sensibility, he successfully elevates the genre of still life photography to new heights. This remarkable piece belongs to the heritage collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Its carbon print technique further enhances its timeless beauty while preserving its historical significance. As we admire "Trophy of the Hunt" we are transported back to the 19th century French countryside where hunting was not only an activity but also an art form celebrated by artists like Adolphe Braun.
