EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Stag hunting in the time of Xenophon" takes us back to ancient Greece, where the thrill of the hunt was a revered sport. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this colour lithograph beautifully captures a scene from Nature and Art, published by Day & Son in 1866. In this vivid illustration, we witness a gripping chase as horseback riders with their loyal hounds pursue a majestic stag through dense woodland. The hunters navigate skillfully on horseback while their dogs eagerly follow every twist and turn. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as they employ various trapping techniques to capture their prey. The image pays homage to Xenophon, an influential Greek philosopher and historian who lived during this era. Stag hunting was not only seen as a thrilling pursuit but also symbolized bravery and strength among ancient Greeks. The artwork showcases the harmonious relationship between humans, animals, and nature itself. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with wildlife throughout history and how these blood sports were once considered part of everyday life. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the exhilaration that accompanied such hunts in ancient Greece.
