EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the lives of medieval aristocrats as they embark on a thrilling fox hunt. Painted in tempera on paper by an anonymous English artist from the 15th century, this artwork captures the essence of aristocratic leisure and their connection with nature. The scene depicts a group of noble men elegantly dressed in their hunting attire, mounted on majestic horses. With their loyal hunting dogs leading the way, these aristocrats traverse through a picturesque landscape filled with rolling hills and lush greenery. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the excitement and grandeur of this ancient sport. Intriguingly, amidst all this opulence, it is the cunning fox that becomes both prey and protagonist. The elusive creature adds an element of suspense to the composition as it skillfully evades capture by darting through dense foliage. This exquisite piece not only offers us a window into medieval society but also serves as a testament to humanity's age-old fascination with wildlife and our desire to conquer nature's challenges. It reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with animals and how they have played pivotal roles throughout history. Preserved in private collection for centuries, this remarkable painting now finds its place among other masterpieces at Peter Newark Pictures. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, inviting them to step back in time and immerse themselves in an era long gone but forever immortalized through art.
