Abstract

en_US
See my comments on the first volume. My favorites on this trip through are LXIV, Le Jardinier et son Seigneur (both plates); LXVIII, L'Homme et l'Idole de Boix, where the illustration captures the breakup of the statue in mid-air; LXXV, Le Loup, la Chèvre et le Chevreau; XCIX, Le Lièvre et la Perdrix; C, L'Aigle et le Hibou, where the image seems to have something in common with both Gustav Doré and Caspar David Friedrich; CXII, Le Cerf se Voyant dans l'Eau; and CXIV, L'Ane et ses Maitres. An example of the majestic composition overwhelming the narrative may lie in CVI, SW--or perhaps here Oudry becomes overwhelmed with classical mythologizing at the cost of a good simple narrative! Like many artists, Oudry has trouble with lions' faces.
