The Meet, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of a bygone era, immersing us in the timeless tradition of fox hunting. This exquisite pastel on paper print by Robert Polhill Bevan takes us back to rural England at the turn of the 20th century. In this scene, we witness a gathering of huntsmen and their trusty hounds as they prepare for an exhilarating chase. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to the image, emphasizing both the solemnity and excitement that surrounds this country pursuit. The dogs stand alert, tails wagging with anticipation while horses prance restlessly in the background. The countryside serves as a picturesque backdrop, evoking a sense of tranquility amidst all the action. Each stroke of Bevan's brush brings life to every animal depicted - from farm animals grazing peacefully nearby to wildlife observing curiously from afar. A prominent figure stands tall among his fellow hunters, gripping his walking stick or cane firmly in hand. His presence exudes authority and expertise in this age-old sport that has long been associated with British culture. This print is part of Yale Center for British Art's esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, showcasing its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon "The Meet" we are transported back in time to witness not only a thrilling sporting event but also an intimate connection between man and nature – a testament to our enduring fascination with these majestic creatures who have shared our lives throughout history.
