EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Allart van Everdingen's masterpiece, "The Horse Forced to Pursue the Stag". Created in the 17th century, this etching showcases a scene from rural life in the Dutch countryside. The image portrays a man on horseback, positioned as if he is leading a hunting expedition. With his gaze fixed upon a majestic stag fleeing through scenic scenery, it becomes evident that nature's beauty and raw power are central themes within this artwork. Van Everdingen's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his pen brings life to each element depicted. The horses' muscular bodies exude strength and determination while their hooves kick up dust as they gallop across the landscape. In contrast, sheep graze peacefully nearby, oblivious to the chase unfolding before them. This piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on man's relationship with nature during this era. It serves as a reminder of our primal instincts and our connection with animals in pursuit of survival or sport. As we admire this heritage art at the National Gallery of Art Washington, we are transported back in time to witness an age-old tradition that shaped rural life in the Low Countries. "The Horse Forced to Pursue the Stag" by Allart van Everdingen remains timeless—a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also to humanity's enduring fascination with capturing fleeting moments of rustic charm and natural grandeur through art.
