The Death, February 1,1789
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Rowlandson captures the dark and controversial world of blood sports in 18th century Britain. In this hand-coloured etching, Rowlandson skillfully depicts a scene of fox hunting, a popular pastime among the British elite at that time. The image portrays a group of hunters on horseback, accompanied by their faithful foxhounds. A female rider is shown elegantly seated side saddle while a male huntsman blows his horn to signal the chase. The countryside setting adds to the rustic charm and regionalism often associated with these activities. However, what makes this print particularly poignant is its exploration of cruelty towards animals. With vivid colours and meticulous detail, Rowlandson highlights the violence inherent in such pursuits. A wounded fox lies lifeless on the ground as dogs surround it eagerly - an unsettling reminder of the brutality inflicted upon innocent creatures for leisurely entertainment. Through this artwork, Rowlandson challenges societal norms and raises questions about our treatment of animals. He forces us to confront our own complicity in perpetuating acts of cruelty for sport. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, "The Death" serves as both a historical record and an artistic critique. It reminds us that art has always played a vital role in reflecting society's values and provoking necessary conversations about ethics and compassion towards all living beings.
