EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pheasant Shooting" takes us back to the early 19th century, capturing a moment in time when hunting was not only a sport but also an art form. Published by Thomas McLean in 1820, this print showcases the incredible talent of Henry Thomas Alken, renowned for his exceptional ability to depict scenes of rural life and sporting activities. In this particular image, we are transported to a picturesque English countryside where two skilled hunters accompanied by their loyal gundogs embark on a pheasant shooting expedition. The English setters take center stage as they diligently work alongside their masters, showcasing their impeccable training and natural instincts. With tails held high and heads alertly scanning the terrain, these magnificent working dogs epitomize grace and elegance. The composition beautifully captures the essence of stalking as both hunters move cautiously through the landscape with shotguns at hand. Their eyes fixed on potential prey hidden amongst lush vegetation while sunlight gently filters through towering trees overhead. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when hunting was not just about bagging game but also about appreciating nature's beauty and forming an unbreakable bond between man and dog. It serves as a testament to Alken's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers into moments frozen in time. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have the privilege of relishing this extraordinary artwork that celebrates both human skillfulness and canine companionship – reminding us that
