EDITORS COMMENTS
Foxhunting: Clearing a Brook captures the exhilarating moment of a rural hunt in action. Painted by William Joseph Shayer, this oil on millboard print measures 8.6x12.4 cm and is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. In this Victorian masterpiece, we are transported to the picturesque countryside where a skilled rider and his loyal hound fearlessly navigate their way through a glistening brook. The scene exudes an undeniable sense of adventure as they conquer nature's obstacle with grace and determination. Shayer's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the majestic horses that effortlessly leap over the water to the lush greenery that surrounds them. The painting not only showcases his technical prowess but also highlights his deep appreciation for wildlife and farm animals. This artwork serves as a window into an era when foxhunting was considered both sport and tradition, capturing its essence without shying away from its controversial nature as bloodsport. It invites us to reflect on our relationship with animals and how it has evolved over time.
