EDITORS COMMENTS
by Heywood Hardy: A Captivating Glimpse into the Victorian Fox Hunt In this oil painting, "The Meet" artist Heywood Hardy takes us back to the enchanting countryside of nineteenth-century England. The scene is set amidst a misty woodland, where anticipation hangs in the air as a large group of elegantly dressed men and women gather for a fox hunt. Hardy's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate apparel worn by both men and women to the majestic hunting dogs that eagerly await their command. The composition beautifully captures the natural space surrounding them, with towering trees and dense foliage creating an atmosphere of tranquility. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also an expression of social status. The equestrian figures exude confidence and grace as they sit atop their hooved companions, ready for adventure. The foggy backdrop adds an element of mystery to the scene, heightening our curiosity about what lies ahead for these hunters. It invites us to imagine ourselves among them – feeling the cool morning breeze on our faces and hearing the distant sounds of nature awakening. "The Meet" is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it represents an era when fox hunting was not only a sport but also a way of life for many British aristocrats. Through his masterful technique and keen eye for capturing human emotion, Hardy has created an enduring piece that continues to captivate viewers even today.
