EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Adonis se reposant de la chasse" captures a moment of tranquility in the midst of the hunt. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases Adonis, a figure from Greek mythology, finding solace after a successful day of hunting. The image depicts Adonis resting against a tree trunk, his weary body leaning into its sturdy embrace. His hunting gear lies scattered around him as he takes respite from the adrenaline-fueled chase. The monochromatic tones add depth to the scene, emphasizing both Adonis' exhaustion and the peacefulness of his surroundings. This photograph was originally intended as an illustration for "Les Chefs-D Oeuvres de la Sculpture au Musee du Louvre" published by Goupil. It is now part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images. Through this image, we are transported back to the 19th century when photography was still in its infancy. The simplicity and elegance captured within this frame serve as a reminder that even amidst intense pursuits such as hunting, moments of rest and reflection are essential for rejuvenation. Whether you appreciate art or history or simply admire beautiful imagery, this print offers glimpses into another time while inviting contemplation on themes such as nature's beauty and mankind's relationship with it.
