This large oil on canvas is the preparatory board for one of the tapestries of the famous hangings known as the Royal Hunts of Louis XV, commissioned in 1733 by the King for the Ch\u00e2teau de Compi\u00e8gne and whose weavings, made at the Manufacture des Gobelins, are kept in Compi\u00e8gne and in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. For this great series, the King called on Jean-Baptiste Oudry, who, for just over ten years, had had a brilliant career as a painter of hunting and animals.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The scene presents a panoramic view of the forest of Compi\u00e8gne from the village of Royallieu. The King, an avid hunter, is depicted chasing a deer trying to escape across the river. The scale of the scene, the number of people and the realism of the forest setting almost make the painter of hunts, a painter of battles. The animals, painted in a natural style, are extremely delicate and the central figure of the King shines with his presence and dignity. This commission would take Oudry more than ten years to complete. However, it was during the reigns of Charles X and Louis-Philippe that the series of paintings entered Fontainebleau to decorate the Queen\u2019s Staircase and the princely apartments, opening onto the Oval Courtyard, to which it gave access. This apartment has since been called \u2018Apartment of the Hunts\u2019.<\/p>\n
