EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting titled "Coursing: the chase" by Samuel Alken takes us back to the 18th century English countryside, where the thrill of the hunt unfolds. The artwork showcases a scene of exhilarating pursuit, with greyhounds and horseback huntsmen racing across a picturesque landscape. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this popular sport, highlighting the agility and speed of both dogs and horses as they chase after their prey - a hare. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate depiction of each dog's muscular form to the flowing manes of galloping horses. The vibrant colors bring life to this dynamic moment frozen in time. One can almost feel the excitement emanating from this piece as it transports us into an era when hunting was not only a means for sustenance but also an esteemed pastime for nobility. Alken's masterful technique combined with his deep understanding of animal anatomy creates a sense of realism that draws viewers into this thrilling spectacle. It is no wonder why this painting has found its place in private collections around the world. As we gaze upon "Coursing: The Chase" we are reminded not only of our connection with nature but also our fascination with human-animal partnerships throughout history. This artwork serves as a testament to our enduring love for outdoor pursuits and celebrates both man and beast in their shared pursuit of adventure.
