La Chasse au Gorille - A Glimpse into 19th Century Rural Hunting
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "La Chasse au Gorille" takes us back to the enchanting countryside of 19th century France. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for "La Chasse Illustree" in 1875. The scene unfolds amidst lush green pastures and a picturesque rural landscape. We find ourselves immersed in a forest teeming with life, its towering pine and spruce trees providing shelter for both hunters and their prey. This pristine woodland is reminiscent of primaeval forests that once covered vast areas of Europe. The image captures the essence of state hunting during this era, showcasing the bloodsport that was prevalent at the time. Hunters are depicted engaged in pursuit, their determination palpable as they navigate through the dense undergrowth. Notably, this engraving also offers insight into societal attitudes towards body image during the period. The artist portrays one hunter as corpulent or overweight—a reflection of prevailing notions surrounding fatness and obesity. As we delve deeper into this historical artwork by Bridgeman Images, it serves as a window into early 19th century French culture—its love for nature's beauty intertwined with its passion for hunting traditions. Through this print, we are transported to an era where man's connection with nature played out against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and age-old customs.
