Антикварний живопис «Полювання»

A fine example of a narrative painting in an oval, illustrating one of the main attributes of the life of the European aristocracy - hunting. The painting depicts a scene of animals being driven by galgo hounds. The work is dedicated to hunting in the nineteenth century. The scene is set in an autumn landscape, executed with good detail and a certain amount of decorativeness. The harmonious composition, enclosed in an oval format, reveals the hand of a true master of genre painting. Bibliographic note: Jean Baptiste Adolphe Bloncar (1815-?) was a French painter. He specialized in landscape and genre painting and was very popular during his lifetime among the provincial French aristocracy and bourgeoisie. In recent decades, he has repeatedly been exhibited at auctions. The largest amount received for the master's works was €1600 in 2015.
