The Death
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and dynamic print that captures the essence of an exhilarating hunt in the English countryside. Engraved by R. G. Reeve in 1808, this colour lithograph showcases the incredible talent of Wolstenholme, Dean Snr. , who masterfully brought this scene to life. Measuring 55x67.5 cm, this print is part of a set of four and currently resides in a private collection under the care of The British Sporting Art Trust. It depicts a thrilling chase as huntsmen on horseback navigate through rugged terrain, their loyal pack of foxhounds hot on the trail. Intriguingly, "The Death" freezes a pivotal moment where the hunted creature finds itself cornered near a picturesque lake and ditch. The intensity is palpable as both hounds and hunters dismount to witness their prey trapped at last. This artwork beautifully portrays not only the excitement but also highlights the harmonious relationship between man, beast, and nature within traditional hunting culture. The stunning English landscape serves as an idyllic backdrop for this sportswoman or sportsman's pursuit. Wolstenholme's attention to detail shines through every brushstroke, capturing each nuance from horses' powerful strides to dogs' eager expressions. This print truly encapsulates the thrill and beauty found within sporting pursuits while honoring centuries-old traditions that continue to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
