EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print, circa 1660, depicts an exhilarating moment during a hunting expedition for hares. At the forefront, a huntsman on foot blows his hunting horn, signaling the start of the chase. His attire, consisting of a long, red coat and a tricorn hat, is typical of the era's hunting fashion. Two huntsmen follow closely behind, their determined expressions and readiness evident in their posture. Their hounds, ears perked up and eyes focused, are hot on the trail, their powerful bodies poised to pounce. The huntsmen's horses, tethered nearby, await their riders, their coats glistening with sweat from the excitement of the hunt. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabric of the huntsmen's clothing to the individual strands of the hounds' fur, transport us back in time to the 1660s. The use of bold lines and contrasting colors adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a striking work of art. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the world of 17th century hunting culture. It is a testament to the passion and dedication of the huntsmen and their dogs, and the thrill of the chase that continues to captivate us even today.
