EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Fox Hunt, 1736" by Jean-Baptiste Oudry is a powerful etching that captures the essence of an eighteenth-century blood sport. This print depicts a dramatic scene of a fox hunt in France, showcasing the intensity and cruelty associated with this popular country sport. Jean-Baptiste Oudry, a renowned French artist of his time, masterfully portrays the moment when dogs attack and pursue their prey. The contrast between light and dark creates a sense of urgency as we witness the fox's struggle for survival against its relentless pursuers. While this artwork showcases the skillful technique employed by Oudry to depict animals in action, it also raises questions about animal cruelty. Fox hunting was considered a traditional pastime among aristocrats during this era; however, it involved inflicting harm upon innocent creatures solely for entertainment purposes. As we observe "Fox Hunt" we are reminded of society's evolving attitudes towards animal welfare over time. Today, such blood sports are widely condemned due to ethical concerns surrounding unnecessary suffering inflicted on animals. This thought-provoking piece can be found at The Met museum among other heritage artworks from various periods. It serves as both a historical record reflecting eighteenth-century culture and an opportunity for contemplation on our relationship with animals throughout history.
