EDITORS COMMENTS
After Richelieu's decree against dueling, this humorous and amusing gravure print by Gustave Dore captures the essence of French society in the 19th century. The satirical cartoon depicts a scene where two gentlemen are engaged in a duel, but instead of fighting with swords or pistols, they are hilariously battling it out with food and drink. In this comical portrayal, we see the absurdity of dueling being replaced by an unconventional form of conflict resolution – indulging in a hearty meal. As they sit at a table laden with delectable dishes and overflowing glasses, these men engage in a gastronomic duel rather than risking their lives on the dueling field. Dore's artistic talent shines through as he masterfully captures the expressions and gestures of these characters, adding to the overall comedic effect. With his keen eye for detail and impeccable technique, Dore brings to life this satirical drawing that serves as scathing satire towards French culture during that time. This engraving not only provides us with entertainment but also offers insight into historical events such as Richelieu's decree against dueling. It reminds us that even serious matters can be approached with humor and wit. As we admire this work of art from Bridgeman Images' collection, we appreciate Dore's ability to blend history, comedy, and artistic skill seamlessly. This print is truly a testament to his genius as both a painter and an artist.
