EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-A-004637-0102" captured by the talented photographer Paolo Lucchesi from Alinari, we are transported back in time to the picturesque countryside of Cento Celle, near Rome. The date etched on the photograph reads 03/03/1904, adding a sense of historical significance to this remarkable scene. The image portrays a group of distinguished noblemen elegantly mounted on their majestic horses, eagerly awaiting the commencement of a thrilling round of fox hunting. Their noble steeds exude strength and grace as they stand poised for action amidst the vast farmland countryside. Surrounding these gallant riders are an assortment of loyal dogs, ready to assist in tracking down their elusive prey. This snapshot not only captures a momentary pause before an exhilarating chase but also offers us glimpses into society's intricate web during that era. The presence of these esteemed gentlemen signifies their privileged status within social classes and highlights their affiliation with nobility. Lucchesi's artistry shines through as he masterfully frames both human and animal subjects against the breathtaking landscape backdrop. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance - from each horse's powerful muscles rippling beneath its coat to the expressions adorning each rider's face; anticipation mixed with determination. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes apparent that beyond showcasing equestrian prowess and aristocratic pastimes, this photograph encapsulates themes such as work and vocation, zoology and zootechnics. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with animals' role in shaping our culture throughout history. "MFC-A-004637-0102" is more than just an exquisite piece of photographic art; it transports us back in time while inviting contemplation about humanity's complex relationship with nature and societal constructs.
