"The Duck Hunt" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Venetian artist Pietro Longhi, renowned for his genre scenes depicting the life and customs of his time. Created in 1752, this artwork is part of Longhi's oeuvre that captures the leisure activities of the Venetian aristocracy with a particular focus on their private and public entertainments.

The painting illustrates a group of Venetian nobles engaged in the pastime of duck hunting, a popular amusement among the elite. Set against the backdrop of the Venetian lagoon, the composition features elegantly dressed figures in a marshy landscape, with some participants actively involved in the hunt while others are spectators. The scene is characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures' expressions and the sumptuous attire typical of the period, as well as the careful depiction of the natural setting and the hunting dogs.

Longhi's work is notable for its narrative quality and the subtle commentary on the social dynamics and mores of his time. "The Duck Hunt" is no exception, as it provides insight into the recreational pursuits of the upper classes and their interaction with nature and each other. The painting is a fine example of Longhi's skill in blending portraiture with genre painting, creating scenes that are both intimate and revealing of the broader cultural context.

"The Duck Hunt" is held in high esteem for its historical and artistic value, offering a window into the 18th-century Venetian society. It is preserved in the collection of the Ca' Rezzonico, a museum dedicated to 18th-century Venice, where it continues to be admired for its charm, wit, and the painter's deft handling of the genre.
