EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The Hunter - A Glimpse into the Brutal World of 18th Century Fox Hunting". This print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "The Hunter (from The Life of a Racehorse, or The High-Mettled Racer), July 20,1789" offers a vivid depiction of the controversial blood sport that was fox hunting in 18th century Britain. Hand tinted with vibrant colors, this artwork brings to life the scene where hunters and their hounds pursue a terrified fox through the countryside. Rowlandson's work not only showcases the thrill and excitement associated with this popular pastime but also sheds light on its darker side. It serves as an important historical document highlighting animal cruelty prevalent during that era. In this image, we witness both men and women participating in this brutal sport, emphasizing how deeply ingrained it was within British society at the time. With meticulous detail, Rowlandson captures the intensity of the chase: horses galloping at full speed while riders blow their hunting horns to signal their presence. Amidst all this chaos, dogs relentlessly pursue their prey until its inevitable demise. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of our heritage collection, this piece invites viewers to reflect upon humanity's evolving relationship with animals throughout history. It serves as a reminder that cultural practices can sometimes perpetuate cruelty towards innocent creatures.
