Samuel Howitt, a talented artist of the late 18th to early 19th century, captured the beauty and excitement of nature and wildlife in his stunning artworks. One such masterpiece is "Waterfall on Clapgate Beck, " located near Richmond, York. With intricate details and vibrant colors, Howitt transports us to this enchanting scene where water cascades down rocks, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. In another captivating piece titled "The Dead Tiger; Mort du tigre, " Howitt showcases his mastery of hand-colored aquatint. This artwork depicts a fierce battle between two foxes over a dead fowl. The intensity in their eyes and the dynamic composition bring this primal struggle to life. Moving on to equestrian scenes, Howitt's talent shines through as he captures the thrill of mounted huntsmen chasing after hounds pursuing a hare. In one artwork, we witness an exhilarating moment as a huntsman fearlessly jumps over a fence while following the pack with unwavering determination. Not only did Howitt depict action-packed moments but also serene ones like when mounted huntsmen observe their hounds discovering a hare. The tranquility in their expressions juxtaposed against the anticipation of what lies ahead creates an intriguing contrast within this artwork. Howitt's attention to detail extends beyond hunting scenes; he also beautifully portrays everyday interactions between humans and animals. In one piece titled "Huntsman opening the kennel door, " we see him capturing that fleeting moment before going hare hunting - when eager hounds eagerly await their release from confinement. Additionally, Howitt explores various themes such as water dogs engaging with mallards or even more exotic subjects like his depiction of hunting Kuttauss or Civet Cat using pencil and watercolor techniques. His fascination with wildlife continues in pieces like "Tiger Attacking a Cattle Train" or "Wild Dogs Attacking a Tiger.
