EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fox hunting at Cento Celle, near Rome" captured by Paolo Lucchesi in 1915, we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling scene of pursuit and adventure. The image showcases the timeless tradition of fox hunting, an exhilarating sport that combines the elegance of horseback riding with the thrill of the chase. Set against a picturesque backdrop of farmland countryside, we see a group of determined hunters on horseback accompanied by their loyal canine companions. The skilled jockeys navigate through the terrain with precision and grace as they follow their prey. The dogs eagerly lead the way, sniffing out any trace left behind by their cunning target. The landscape itself seems to come alive in this photograph; vibrant green grasses sway gently in the wind while various vegetation adds depth and texture to the composition. As our eyes wander beyond the hunters, an automobile can be seen on a nearby road - a stark contrast between traditional methods of transportation and modern advancements. Lucchesi's masterful capture not only immortalizes this exciting moment but also provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century life near Rome. It serves as a reminder that despite technological progress over time, certain traditions endure and continue to captivate both participants and spectators alike. This remarkable print is not just about capturing animals or scenes; it encapsulates human passion for adventure, workmanship, and connection with nature. It reminds us that there is beauty in preserving age-old customs while appreciating our surroundings – whether it be through art or real-life experiences.
