EDITORS COMMENTS
Shooting: Verse 1, 1819" is a captivating and evocative hand-colored aquatint and etching on ivory wove paper, created by the renowned British artist Thomas Sutherland in the 19th century. The artwork depicts two men, dressed in the fashion of the time, engaged in a hunting scene in the English countryside. One man, Dean Wolstenholme II or Dean Wolstenholme the Younger, as he is also known, stands with a hunting rifle at the ready, his eyes focused intently on the horizon. His companion, possibly Dean Wolstenholme Jr., holds a gun and a leash in his hand, guiding a hunting dog that eagerly awaits the signal to pursue their quarry. The scene unfolds in a lush, green field, dotted with trees and bordered by rolling hills. The men are surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside, a stark contrast to the action and tension of the moment. The use of hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the scene to life and transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The artwork is a testament to the pastime of hunting, which was a popular leisure activity among the British aristocracy during the 19th century. The men, with their guns and hunting dogs, embody the concept of warfare transformed into a sport, a tradition that has been passed down through generations. The image is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the heritage and history of Britain and its people. Thomas Sutherland's "Shooting: Verse 1, 1819" is a masterpiece of 19th-century art, showcasing the artist's skillful use of etching and hand-colouring techniques to create a stunning and timeless image. The artwork is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
