About the Item
Jean Richard Goubie
French, 1842-1899
A Travers Bois
Oil on canvas
25 ½ by 39 ¾ in. W/frame 30 ½ by 45 in.
Circa 1892
Jean Richard Goubie was born in Paris in 1842, he was a pupil of the great French academic master Jean-Leon Gerome. He began exhibiting at the Salon in 1869 and five years later earned a third class medal there. Goubie and his work, particularly his genre and sporting pictures were not only known in his native France, but also much beloved and appreciated in America.
Full Gallop is a dynamic and meticulously rendered depiction of a hunt. Riding through the mist of a moss covered forest, the large hunting party hastily pursues the prey. With both the hounds and there kill strikingly absent from the picture space, Goubie enhances the excitement and tension of the outing depicted. The action is further heightened by the pose and placement of the rider in the foreground, most likely the obligatory “master of foxhounds” Leaning precariously forward, he tightly grasps the reins an a bugle while the four legs of the animal beneath him are suspended in mid air. Goubie echoes this construction with the rider at the right background. Like his counterpoint in the foreground, he leans forward thereby guiding the viewer’s eyes to the right edge of the picture space where the hounds and prey have dashed out of sight. The legs of his horse are also suspended in air, hovering mightily above the amber-colored brush below. Rather than simply holding the bugle, his mouth is clamped firmly around the instrument, urging the other riders in the party to charge ahead. In all, Full Gallop is a captivating rendition of the hunt created by a true and enduring master of the genre.

Jean Richard GOUBIE (Paris, 1842 - Paris, 1899) Student of Jean Léon GÉRÔME in At the Paris School of Fine Arts, GOUBIE took part in the Paris Salon from 1869 to 1893, obtaining a third class medal in 1874. GOUBIE was probably impressed by his master GÉRÔME because he invited him to join as well as seven other travelers to a painting expedition in Egypt and Asia Minor. The group included another student, Paul LENOIR, the realist painter, Léon BONNAT, two journalists, a doctor and another friend. GÉRÔME also invited his brother-in-law, Albert GOUPIL, amateur photographer and son of the famous merchant and publisher. It is probably through this meeting that Goupil & Cie will later publish a series of paintings by GOUBIE accompanied by a verse of poetry as part of Goupil's Illustrations at the French Salons from 1873 to 1879. GOUBIE experienced a rapid fame with his animal works, especially those depicting horses described with meticulous, quasi-anatomical observation and mounted by elegant horsemen or amazons of the aristocratic or bourgeois world. GOUBIE was also very popular with the American clientele probably thanks to the GOUPILS. For example, his painting exhibited at the Salon of 1872 and titled The Hunting Prize was made for James H. STEBBINS of New York. The painting is today at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. A second work, Horses and Characters is also preserved in an American museum in Cincinnati.
