ジャック・カロ《大狩猟》 : 狩猟画と風景画

抄録

This study clarifies the figurative features of hunt in the Western modern ages through the well known etching "La Grande Chasse" by Jacques Callot (1592-1635), and examines the relation between the development of hunt and the development of landscape painting. Based on the close research of many examples, the writer indicates that the painting of hunt as amusement, consists of the combination of motifs, such as 'Building-Water Current-Trees-Figures in the foreground', and their arrangement is also consistent. Above all, the dipicted building such as castle or villa, was a required motif to show that the hunting field was a part of a patron's tenure. Thanks to this motif, the patron could boast of his wide tenure and himself enjoying there. Since an actual view was required to be depicted in hunt, even if partially, the hunt functioned as a topographical landscape, which promoted to develop European modern landscape painting.
