EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Oubli de la Consigne (The Forgetting of the Instructions)" is a captivating colour lithograph by Gaston Gelibert, showcasing a moment of forgetfulness and chaos. The artwork, dating back to 1895, was originally published in Le Figaro Illustre and now resides in a private collection. In this lively scene, we witness a huntsman caught up in his own world as he dozes off under the shade of a tree. Completely oblivious to his surroundings and responsibilities, he has forgotten the crucial instructions for hunting wild boar. Meanwhile, his pack of hounds eagerly awaits their master's command while an escaped quarry slips away unnoticed. Gelibert's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the meticulously painted hunting dress worn by the slumbering huntsman to the expressive faces of dogs filled with anticipation and confusion - each element adds depth and character to this whimsical piece. The artist captures not only human fallibility but also highlights French fashion trends prevalent during that era. Bottles scattered around suggest that wine may have played its part in lulling our protagonist into such deep sleep. "L'Oubli de la Consigne" serves as both an amusing anecdote about human forgetfulness and an artistic representation of 19th-century France's cultural nuances. This print invites viewers on a journey through time, reminding us that even amidst grand pursuits like hunting wild boars, one can still succumb to moments of blissful oblivion.
