Hunting Party Hunting Scene Huntsmen Wild Boar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment from Sir Walter Scott's historical novel, "Quentin Durward". The illustration depicts Cardinal Balue, a prominent male character in the story, engaged in an exhilarating chase after a wild boar. Created by the talented artist George Cruikshank and published in 1845, this lithograph showcases his exceptional skill in capturing action and movement. Set against the backdrop of a dense forest, Cardinal Balue is seen on horseback as he fearlessly pursues the boar. The scene exudes excitement and intensity as both man and beast navigate through the woodland with determination. Surrounding them are other members of the hunting party, adding to the dynamic atmosphere of this comic-like illustration. "Quentin Durward" first published in 1823, is set during 15th-century France and follows the adventures of its eponymous protagonist. Jean Balue, upon whom Cardinal Balue is based, was a real historical figure who lived during that time period. This print not only brings to life one of Scott's memorable characters but also offers us a glimpse into medieval French society. With its vibrant colors and masterful composition, this artwork transports viewers to another era filled with adventure and intrigue. It serves as both an homage to Sir Walter Scott's literary genius and George Cruikshank's artistic prowess. A true gem from our private collection that will surely captivate any art enthusiast or lover of historical fiction alike.
