EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Hunt is Up and it is well nigh day and Harry our King is gone hunting" takes us back to a bygone era of grandeur and adventure. The image, beautifully illustrated by Walter Crane in 1884, depicts a scene from the traditional song collection "Pan-Pipes". In this vibrant lithograph, we witness a group of riders on horseback eagerly chasing after their quarry. The hunters are accompanied by an array of loyal hunting dogs, their barks echoing through the countryside. A majestic stag gracefully leaps across the landscape as it tries to evade capture. The composition exudes energy and excitement with its dynamic lines and vivid colors. The musical aspect of the illustration is also evident, as one rider plays pan pipes while others blow horns to signal the chase. This artwork not only captures a thrilling moment in time but also pays homage to centuries-old traditions of hunting that were once enjoyed by kings such as Henry VIII. It serves as a reminder of how sport and leisure have shaped history throughout generations. "The Hunt is Up" invites viewers to immerse themselves in this exhilarating pursuit, where man and beast unite for an unforgettable adventure amidst nature's beauty. This print stands as both an exquisite piece of artistry and a testament to our enduring fascination with the thrill of the hunt.
