EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print titled "Fox Hunting" takes us back to the early 19th century, capturing the thrill and excitement of this traditional English sport. Created by Henry Thomas Alken and published by Thomas McLean in 1820, it showcases a dynamic scene filled with action and energy. In the foreground, we see a skilled huntsman atop his majestic horse, elegantly jumping over a wooden railing fence. The intensity on his face reveals his determination to conquer any obstacle that comes their way. The horse's powerful leap is frozen in time, showcasing its grace and athleticism. The composition beautifully captures the essence of fox hunting - an exhilarating pursuit where man and beast work together as one. The lush countryside serves as a picturesque backdrop for this thrilling chase. Alken's masterful use of aquatint technique adds depth and texture to every element of the artwork. From the finely detailed horses and riders to the meticulously rendered foliage, each brushstroke brings life to this timeless scene. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today. Its presence reminds us of our rich cultural heritage rooted in equestrian traditions. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of an age-old sport that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide. Bridgeman Images allows us access into these remarkable works from Fine Art Finder, preserving our collective history through visual storytelling.
