EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Greyhound: Facing Left, with a Dead Hare at His Feet, ca. 1805" takes us back to the early 19th century in Britain. Created by an unknown artist after Philip Reinagle, this artwork showcases the elegance and power of a greyhound, one of the most beloved hunting dogs of that era. The greyhound stands tall and proud in profile view, its sleek body exuding grace and strength. With its head turned towards the left, we catch a glimpse of its alert expression and keen eyes. At its feet lies a lifeless hare, symbolizing both triumph and mortality in the world of hunting. Enamelled on porcelain using delicate bassetaille technique, this ceramic piece is adorned with vibrant colors that bring life to every detail. The enamel work adds depth and texture to the image while preserving its timeless beauty. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed collection, this heritage art transports us to a bygone era when hunting was not only a sport but also an integral part of country life in England. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and our fascination with animals throughout history. As we admire this remarkable portrait captured on porcelain centuries ago by an anonymous artist inspired by Philip Reinagle's original painting, we are reminded once again how art has the power to transcend time and preserve moments forever etched in history.
