Engravings of hunting scenes in the 19th century were very popular, especially with the nobility and bourgeoisie. They often depicted hunts à courre, with riders, dogs and game such as fox, duck, pheasant or deer. Finely crafted, these works were a blend of naturalistic precision and romantic aesthetics. They were used to illustrate aristocratic lifestyles and rural traditions. Today, these engravings are prized by collectors for their artistic and historical value.

Philippe Ledieu (1805-1850)
Born around 1805 in Quincy, he was a pupil of Horace Vernet and exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1931 and 1850. Settled near Barbizon, he was known for his depictions of dogs and horses, including the Mare and Foal Frightened in the Musée de Dijon.

Achille Moreau
A pupil of Jazet, Achille Moreau was one of the leading engravers of the 1825-1840 period. He appeared at the Paris Salon from 1827 to 1833. His works date from 1825 to 1842 and include genre and topical subjects such as Allégorie au Sacre de Charles X and Prise du Tocadéro. He was also one of the engravers of the Napoleonic legend, but also produced genre scenes after Vernet.
