EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "Coursing the Hare" takes us back to the year 1796, immersing us in a scene of exhilarating pursuit. Created by Richard Dighton and published for Bowles & Carver, this artwork captures the essence of Georgian-era bloodsports. In this rural landscape, we witness a thrilling chase unfolding before our eyes. A group of hunters on horseback gallop across an open field with their trusty greyhounds by their side. The dogs' muscles tense as they eagerly pursue their prey - a hare darting through the countryside. The artist skillfully depicts the energy and intensity of this momentous event. We can almost feel the wind rushing past us as we join in on this adrenaline-fueled race against nature. The rolling hills and vast expanse of greenery provide a picturesque backdrop for this dramatic spectacle. As we delve into this historic engraving, it is important to appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its historical context. While bloodsports were popular during that era, today's society views them differently. This artwork serves as a reminder of how cultural perspectives evolve over time. Displayed proudly in a private collection under the care of The British Sporting Art Trust, "Coursing the Hare" invites us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and how it has transformed throughout history. It stands as both an exquisite piece of artistry and an intriguing window into centuries past.
