EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Charles Blunt (b. 1775) Hunting the Boar and Escaping from the Tiger: a study for one of a set of four paintings made in 1815 captures the thrilling moment of an equestrian pursuit amidst untamed wilderness. This remarkable print, created by James Ward (1769-1859), showcases his exceptional talent as a painter and artist. In this artwork, Sir Charles Blunt, a member of the 15th King's Regiment of the Light Dragoons, is depicted fearlessly charging through dense undergrowth on horseback. With pencil heightened with white on grey paper, Ward masterfully brings to life every detail - from the muscular form of Sir Charles' steed to his determined expression. The scene unfolds with heart-pounding intensity as Sir Charles hunts down a formidable boar while simultaneously evading an aggressive tiger lurking nearby. The tension is palpable as he wields his spear with precision and skill, showcasing both his bravery and expertise in hunting dangerous game. Ward's meticulous attention to detail transports viewers into this exhilarating moment in history. Through subtle shading and delicate lines, he captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of adventure that defined Sir Charles' character. This extraordinary artwork now resides at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. It stands as a testament to James Ward's artistic prowess and serves as an enduring tribute to Sir Charles Blunt's courage and daring escapades.
