EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Le cetace a bec" takes us back to the 19th century French countryside. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree in 1868-69. The scene depicts a serene rural landscape with green pastures stretching into the distance. In this idyllic setting, we catch a glimpse of a magnificent humpback whale gracefully swimming through the air above the countryside. This awe-inspiring marine mammal stands out against the tranquil backdrop, showcasing its immense size and power. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this exquisite engraving. The intricate lines bring life to both the whale and its surroundings, capturing the essence of wildlife in all its glory. "Le cetace a bec" not only showcases nature's beauty but also serves as a reminder of France's rich hunting tradition during that era. It hints at state-sanctioned hunting activities prevalent at that time while also shedding light on bloodsports popular among French hunters. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness both the majesty of these incredible creatures and gain insight into historical practices surrounding them.
