Departing for the Hunt
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of anticipation and excitement as a group prepares to embark on a thrilling hunting expedition. Created by Jan Verkolje, this exquisite print showcases his mastery in pen and brown ink, with brush and grey wash, over traces of graphite. In this scene, men and women gather near an elegant fountain adorned with intricately carved statues. The men are dressed in traditional hunting attire, holding walking sticks or canes while conversing animatedly. A pack of hounds eagerly awaits their command, tails wagging with anticipation. A beautiful woman stands at the center of the composition, exuding confidence and grace. Her presence adds a touch of elegance to the rugged atmosphere surrounding her. Horses stand nearby, ready to carry their riders through fields and forests in pursuit of game. Verkolje's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the folds in clothing to the expressions on each face - all brought to life through his skilled hand. This stunning artwork offers us a glimpse into an era when hunting was not only a sport but also an integral part of social gatherings. It invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this lively scene filled with camaraderie and adventure. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, "Departing for the Hunt" continues to captivate viewers today as it did centuries ago when it was first created by Verkolje's talented hand.
