Painting Description
"Misse and Turlu, Two Greyhounds of Louis XV" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry, created in 1725. The artwork is a testament to Oudry's skill in animal portraiture and his role as a leading painter under the patronage of Louis XV. The painting depicts two greyhounds, Misse and Turlu, which belonged to the French monarch, showcasing the royal fondness for hunting dogs and the importance of pets in the aristocratic lifestyle of the 18th century.
Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686–1755) was a Rococo era painter, engraver, and tapestry designer known for his naturalistic representation of animals and still life subjects. He served as a court painter to Louis XV and was appointed director of the Beauvais tapestry factory, where his designs contributed significantly to the French tapestry industry. Oudry's proficiency in rendering the texture of fur and the anatomy of animals is evident in "Misse and Turlu, Two Greyhounds of Louis XV," which captures the elegance and grace of the dogs with a lifelike presence.
The painting is often celebrated for its detailed execution and the way it reflects the social and cultural values of its time. It is not only an example of Oudry's artistic talent but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the relationship between the French nobility and their pets, as well as the broader context of animal portraiture in European art.
As a work of art from the early 18th century, "Misse and Turlu, Two Greyhounds of Louis XV" has been the subject of art historical interest and is included in the collection of the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris, France. The painting continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and as an embodiment of the cultural heritage of the period.
