The Dinner, Humours of Fox Hunting, 1799
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and lively print that captures the essence of 18th-century British upper-class celebrations. Created by Thomas Rowlandson, this artwork depicts a scene filled with rowdy men indulging in food and drink after a successful fox hunt. In this colorful composition, we see men dressed in hunting attire, their faces flushed with excitement and alcohol. Bottles of wine are scattered across the table as they raise their glasses in celebration. The atmosphere is one of joviality and merriment as laughter fills the air. Rowlandson's satirical style shines through as he humorously portrays the effects of drunkenness on these hooray henries. With exaggerated gestures and expressions, he highlights the comical aspects of their behavior. This painting not only showcases the social class divide but also serves as a commentary on excesses within society during that era. It offers us a glimpse into an extravagant world where hunting was not just about sport but also an occasion for revelry. As we admire this print from "The Dinner" we are transported back to 18th-century Britain - a time when tradition met indulgence, humor mingled with satire, and moments like these were celebrated with gusto.
