Sul dipinto
Louis Godefroy Jadin (1805-1882) was born in Paris and subsequently trained under the supervision of Louis Hersent (1777-1860), Alexandre Abel de Pujol (1785-1861), Paul Huet (1803-1869), Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-1828) and Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps (1803-1860). He soon specialised in hunting scenes and still-lifes. He started exhibiting at the Salon in 1831, being awarded in 1840 and 1855. he was a close friend of the writer Alexandre Dumas and often accompanied him in his travels. He trained his son, Charles-Emmanuel who imitated his father's style.
Leggi
This painting is a fine example of animal painting fashionable during Napoleon III's Second Empire in France. While greyhounds appear to be the very hunting dogs, this work reflects the habits of the Emperor, who revived the glorious hunting past of the French sovereigns, but also the new interest for animals subjects and observation of nature successively reactivated by Romanticism and Realism.
