EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense scene of "La Chasse au Tigre (The Tiger Chase)" from the 18th century. Created by Jean Jacques Flipart, this engraving is a reproduction of Francois Boucher's original artwork. The image portrays a hunting party in pursuit of a fierce tiger, showcasing the concept of warfare against nature. In this scene, we see a group of men on horseback, dressed in traditional French attire from the Rococo period. They are armed with various weapons including spears and daggers as they chase after their prey. One brave young boy stands out among them, displaying his courage amidst danger. The composition highlights the tension and drama of the hunt as one man rears his horse while wielding a blade towards the wounded feline. The atmosphere exudes both excitement and cruelty to animals, reflecting societal attitudes towards wildlife during that era. Flipart's skillful etching technique brings depth and detail to every element within the frame - from intricate head dresses to majestic horses galloping through an idyllic countryside setting. This artwork serves as a testament to France's rich heritage art tradition. Displayed at The Met Museum, this powerful piece invites viewers to contemplate themes such as animal cruelty and human dominance over nature. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with wildlife throughout history.
