Parlem de Pintura...
Alexandre-François Desportes (Champigneulle, 24 de febrer de 1661 - París, 20 d'abril 1743) va ser un pintor francès, considerat el fundador del gènere animalístic francès. Va ser aprenent de Nicasius Bernaerts, alumne de Frans Snyders, resident en aquell temps a París. Amb el seu mestre es va impregnar de la tradició flamenca que va endolcir amb la força del barroc en les seves composicions. El 1699 va ser admès a la Reial Acadèmia de Pintura i Escultura i des del 1700 i fins a la seva mort, va pintar nombrosos quadres per a les residències reials franceses de Versalles, Marly-le-Roi, Meudon, Compiègne i Choisy ja fos per a Lluís XIV com per a Lluís XV. Pintor de caça i dels gossos favorits dels reis, va acompanyar sovint a la reialesa en les habituals caceres, realitzant esbossos en viu dels quals el rei n'escollia els dels seu gust. Desportes va tenir una vida benestant abans de morir a París l'abril del 1743.
