Le roi, le milan, et le chasseur (The King, the Kite, and the Hunter), published 1759 - A Captivating Tale of Power and Nature
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hand-colored etching from 18th-century France, artist Benoit-Louis Prevost brings to life a dramatic scene that unfolds in the heart of nature. Titled "Le roi, le milan, et le chasseur" or "The King, the Kite, and the Hunter" this artwork takes us on a journey through time. At first glance, we see a majestic king standing tall with his soldiers by his side. The monarch exudes power and authority as he surveys his kingdom. However, lurking above is an ominous bird of prey - a kite ready to strike. This raptor represents both danger and opportunity. As our eyes wander further into the composition, we notice a lone hunter positioned strategically amidst lush countryside. He prepares himself for battle against not only nature's forces but also those who challenge his sovereign's reign. This print is based on Jean de La Fontaine's fable of the same name - a cautionary tale about arrogance and ambition. Through intricate details and vibrant colors meticulously added by hand-tinting techniques employed by Houdrie of Paris workshop; Prevost masterfully captures every emotion within this narrative. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork showcases Prevost's skillful execution while paying homage to renowned French painter Jean-B
