Sam Howitt was a talented artist known for his stunning landscapes and captivating animal illustrations. In the late 18th to early 19th century, he captured the breathtaking beauty of nature in pieces like "Waterfall on Clapgate Beck, near Richmond, York. " The cascading water and lush surroundings transport viewers to a serene oasis. One of Howitt's notable works is "Lion And A Leopard" from 1820. With meticulous detail, he portrays these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, showcasing their power and grace. Similarly, his piece "A Group of Stags Drinking" depicts a tranquil scene where stags gather at a watering hole under the watchful eye of Thomas Rowlandson. Rowlandson collaborated with Howitt again in "Hounds Hunting a Stag, " capturing the excitement and energy of this thrilling chase. Their collaboration continued with "Landscape with Two Fishermen Climbing Rocks Next to a Waterfall, " which showcases not only their artistic prowess but also their ability to evoke emotions through scenery. In addition to his landscape paintings, Howitt had an eye for humor as seen in "Quarterly Dunns or Clamorous Tax Gatherers. " This satirical piece pokes fun at tax collectors during that time period. Another amusing work by Rowlandson is "A Snip in a Rage, " depicting comical chaos within a barber shop setting. Howitt's talent extended beyond landscapes and satire; he also excelled in capturing action-packed scenes such as those depicted in "Woodcock Shooting" (1810) and later revisited it again in 1819. These illustrations showcase hunters engaging skillfully with nature while pursuing game birds. Not limited to wildlife artistry alone, Howitt also dabbled into other subjects like dogs portrayed beautifully in his work titled simply as “Spaniels” (1924). His attention to detail brings out the unique characteristics of each spaniel, capturing their loyalty and playfulness.
