EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Earl of Orford's elk from Norway, antelope from Africa, and stag from Prince's Island" painted by George Garrard. The artwork, created on oil canvas measuring 52.1x76.2 cm, is a study for a finished painting commissioned by Horatio Walpole, the 3rd Earl of Orford. In this mesmerizing composition, we are transported to an aristocratic menagerie in the 18th century. The scene depicts a lush landscape with a majestic waterfall cascading down rocks in the background. Three magnificent animals take center stage - an elk from Norway proudly displaying its impressive antlers, an exotic antelope hailing from Africa with its graceful presence, and a regal stag originating from Prince's Island. Garrard masterfully captures the essence of these captive creatures within their confined zoo-like environment. His attention to detail brings each animal to life on the canvas while highlighting their individual beauty and strength. This print not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers insight into historical practices surrounding aristocratic menageries during the c19th century. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as captivity and our relationship with nature. Displayed in private collections today, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite portrayal of wildlife amidst an enchanting backdrop – truly exemplifying Garrard's artistic prowess and his ability to evoke emotions through his brushstrokes.
