EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lord Edward Thynnes Gold Snuff Box, a true masterpiece painted with exquisite foxhunting scenes in 1832-33. The box, crafted from gold and adorned with oil paintings by the renowned artist John E. Ferneley (1782-1860), is a testament to the opulence and elegance of its time. The lid depicts "The Death" capturing the intense moment when the hunters successfully corner their prey. On the base, "Full Cry" portrays a thrilling chase through picturesque landscapes, while "The Meet" captures the excitement and camaraderie of riders gathering for their hunt. Every detail on this snuff box tells a story - from the skillfully rendered horses and hounds to the lush trees and flowing stream that create an immersive rural setting. The composition perfectly captures both the beauty of nature and the adrenaline-filled pursuit of fox hunting. As we admire this work of art, we are transported back in time to witness not only a country sport but also glimpses into botanical studies and scientific methods prevalent during that era. The presence of various dog breeds such as deerhounds, basset hounds, collies, guard dogs, puppies, lapdogs adds another layer of interest to this intricate piece. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection in USA; it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers us an opportunity to appreciate fine craftsmanship combined with artistic expression.
