Painting Description
"Procession De La Fete Dieu - Depart Pour La Chasse" is a notable work by French artist Alexandre Lunois (1863–1916), who was renowned for his contributions to lithography and painting during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular piece is emblematic of Lunois's interest in capturing scenes of daily life, religious ceremonies, and traditional festivities that were characteristic of French culture during his time.
The artwork's title translates to "Procession of the Feast of God - Departure for the Hunt" and it depicts the dual themes of religious observance and the leisure pursuit of hunting, juxtaposing the sacred with the secular. The Feast of God, or Fête-Dieu, is more commonly known as Corpus Christi, a Catholic festival celebrating the Eucharist. Lunois's choice to combine this solemn religious procession with the departure for a hunt suggests a commentary on the interplay between devotion and the enjoyment of aristocratic pastimes.
Created during the Belle Époque, a period known for its optimism, regional peace, economic prosperity, and technological, scientific, and cultural innovations, the work reflects the era's complex social fabric. Lunois's technique, likely involving lithography—a field in which he excelled and innovated—would have allowed for the detailed and nuanced representation of the figures and their environment, characteristic of his style.
While the specific date of creation for "Procession De La Fete Dieu - Depart Pour La Chasse" is not readily available, it would have been produced during Lunois's most active years as an artist. His works are held in high regard and can be found in various museum collections, including the Musée d'Orsay and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
As an artist, Lunois was a member of the Société des Peintres-Lithographes and co-founded the journal L'Estampe originale, which played a significant role in the revival of original printmaking in France. His artistic legacy is marked by his dedication to capturing the spirit of his time through the medium of printmaking, and "Procession De La Fete Dieu - Depart Pour La Chasse" stands as a testament to his skill in portraying the complexities of French society at the turn of the century.
