Wild Boar Hunt c. 18th century

Editor: So, this is François Joullain's "Wild Boar Hunt," a print held by the Harvard Art Museums. It’s a chaotic scene, full of energy! What do you make of this frenzied hunt? Curator: It's interesting, isn't it? It's a bit like a Baroque opera playing out in the woods, full of drama! I see more than just a hunt; I see a metaphor for life's struggles, that relentless pursuit, with the boar as the elusive prize. Editor: A prize indeed! It makes you wonder about the role of humans here, doesn't it? Curator: Precisely! Are we the orchestrators of this chaos, or merely spectators caught in its wake? Food for thought, eh? Editor: Definitely. This print makes me see hunting in a whole new light.
