EDITORS COMMENTS
Going to Cover" is a captivating and evocative aquatint print by Charles Bentley, created in the 19th century. The image transports us back in time to the rolling English countryside, where the thrilling tradition of fox hunting was a cherished pastime. Two riders, dressed in the distinctive red coats and black and tan hunter's stockings, approach a fence at the edge of a field. Their determined expressions and the eagerness of their foxhounds, who trail behind them, reveal their intent: they are about to 'go to cover,' a strategic maneuver in which riders and hounds surround the fox and drive it towards the waiting hounds. The intricate details of the print bring the scene to life. The rich colors of the red coats, the glossy black coats of the horses, and the earthy tones of the farmland and fields are rendered with exquisite precision. The texture of the fur on the foxhounds and the roughness of the fence are expertly captured in the aquatint process. The print invites us to imagine the sounds of hooves pounding on the ground, the barks of the excited dogs, and the distant cry of the huntsman. Charles Bentley, a skilled British artist, masterfully conveys the energy and excitement of the hunt, as well as the deep connection between man and nature that underpins this ancient sport. "Going to Cover" is not only a stunning work of art, but also a window into a bygone era, offering a glimpse of a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished national pastime.
