EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fox hunt in Cecchignola, Rome" transports us back to the picturesque countryside of Italy on April 1st, 1904. The image captures a moment filled with excitement and anticipation as a group of hunters embark on their equestrian adventure. The enclosure where this scene unfolds is surrounded by the beauty of nature's bounty. The rural landscape serves as an idyllic backdrop for this thrilling pursuit. The exterior setting immerses us in the tranquility of farmland countryside, evoking a sense of serenity and escape from bustling city life. As our gaze shifts towards the foreground, we are drawn to the meticulously crafted furnishings for civic spaces that adorn the riders' attire. Their traditional hunting gear exudes elegance and sophistication while also serving practical purposes during their pursuit. The focus then turns to the central figures - horses galloping gracefully across vast fields under clear blue skies. These majestic terrestrial mammals symbolize strength and agility, perfectly complementing their jockeys who skillfully guide them through this exhilarating chase. Lucchesi's masterful composition not only captures a specific moment but also tells a larger story about work and vocation in early 20th-century Italy. This scene showcases how horseback riding served both recreational and functional purposes within society. Lastly, we notice a charming gig making its way along an old country road nearby – another mode of transportation that adds depth to this enchanting snapshot from history. Through Paolo Lucchesi's lens, we are transported into an era where fox hunts were not just mere pastimes but grand adventures set against stunning landscapes. This print encapsulates alluring elements of nature, tradition, movement, and human connection – inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its timeless allure once more.
