EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tradition and rural life in 18th-century England. Titled "Lord Bulkeley and his Harriers" this oil on canvas masterpiece by Francis Sartorius showcases a group portrait of Lord Bulkeley, his huntsman John Wells, and Whipper-In R. Jennings. The painting, housed at the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, transports us to a time when hunting was not just a sport but an integral part of English culture. The scene unfolds amidst a picturesque landscape adorned with lush trees that provide the perfect backdrop for this equestrian spectacle. Lord Bulkeley sits tall atop his majestic horse, exuding authority and elegance as he commands his pack of hounds with precision. His huntsman John Wells stands beside him, displaying unwavering loyalty and expertise in managing these magnificent creatures. The composition beautifully captures the camaraderie between man and animal as well as their shared love for the hunt. The riders' breeches billow gracefully in the wind as they navigate through the countryside with grace and skill. This image is more than just a snapshot; it represents an era steeped in history where traditions were cherished, horsemanship was revered, and nature provided solace from bustling city life. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's beauty while honoring those who dedicated themselves to preserving age-old customs like fox hunting.
