Grands Chasseurs--Le Cerf est pret, 1903 - A Satirical Take on Hunting in the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures Felix Vallotton's masterpiece, "Grands Chasseurs--Le Cerf est pret, 1903". The Swiss artist skillfully uses black crayon and brush over graphite on wove paper to create a thought-provoking image that combines artistry with satire. In this satirical portrayal of deer hunting in the nineteenth century, Vallotton challenges societal norms and mocks the concept of hunting as a noble occupation. The scene depicts a group of men dressed as hunters, armed with shotguns and bows. However, instead of showcasing their prowess or bravery in capturing their prey, they are shown comically bowing before a tied-up stag. Vallotton's use of humor highlights the absurdity of hunting for sport while also critiquing the power dynamics between humans and animals. By presenting these hunters as servants to an immobilized target rather than skilled conquerors, he questions notions of masculinity and dominance associated with such activities. The artwork is housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. , where it serves as a reminder of Vallotton's talent for blending artistic technique with social commentary. As viewers engage with this piece from Heritage Images collection, they are invited to reflect on our relationship with nature and consider how our actions impact other living beings. Overall, "Grands Chasseurs--Le Cerf
