EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Stag Hunting in Normandy" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene of exhilarating pursuit and unexpected obstacles. The French School's colour lithograph captures the essence of this age-old tradition with remarkable detail. In this image, we find ourselves amidst a group of hunters on horseback, their faces filled with anticipation and determination. A man leads the unfortunate stag on a leash, an awkward arrangement that adds to the disconcerting nature of the hunt. As they arrive at a brook, an obstacle perchance for both parties involved, dogs eagerly await their master's signal to start the chase. The quarry is fully aware of its impending inconvenience as it stands by the water's edge. The occasional cry from huntsmen and playful skittishness from beaters add to the atmosphere charged with excitement. Meanwhile, imagining themselves in hot pursuit through water and over land, sportsmen negotiate discomfort while hounds occasionally point out potential hiding spots. This artwork beautifully encapsulates not only the thrill but also some curiosities surrounding stag hunting in Normandy during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into French culture and European sporting traditions that have stood the test of time. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print transports us back in time to experience firsthand one of France's most cherished pastimes - la chasse à courre - where man matches wits against nature itself.
