EDITORS COMMENTS
Ouverture de la chasse," or "Autumn Sketch - Opening of the Hunt," is a captivating 19th century lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This monochromatic masterpiece, created in the grey tones of autumn, transports us back in time to the historic landscape of France. Daumier, a master of caricature and satire, expertly captures the essence of the hunt in this intricately detailed illustration. The scene unfolds as hunters, dressed in traditional attire, gather around a horse-drawn vehicle, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. One hunter gestures towards the horizon, signaling the beginning of the hunt, while another extends a hand in greeting to a fellow hunter. The horse and cart, a common mode of transportation during the 19th century, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The artist's use of lettering in the title and the inscription on the cart adds a touch of elegance and completes the overall composition. This lithograph, titled "Croquis d'automne" or "Autumn Sketch," is a testament to Daumier's exceptional skill as an illustrator. The intricate details, from the textures of the hunters' clothing to the patterns on the horse's harness, are rendered with precision and finesse. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this historic work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of France and the artistic brilliance of Honore Daumier. This work of art is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the 19th century, French art, or the depiction of everyday life. In this timeless work, Daumier invites us to join the hunters on their journey, and to experience the excitement and beauty of the opening of the hunt in the autumn countryside.
