 JEAN BAPTISTE OUDRY - BEAR HUNT / STAG HUNT
Although the documentation is incomplete, it has long been believed that the Stag Hunt is the model for a picture that appears for the first time in a memorandum of 1737, listing a number of works painted for Louis XV in the preceding years.
These works were his most original as a painter of the hunt, for François Desportes, his great rival who died only in 1743 and who had long since firmly established himself as the premier painter of hunting scenes for Louis XIV and Louis XV, did not include figures of hunters and horses in his compositions.
But the main reason for choosing the Stag Hunt was probably its unusual subject, un cerf blanc moucheté arrêté par des chiens, as the large picture was described in an inventory of the last half of the eighteenth century at Versailles.
