More about this artwork

In the captivating painting "And o’er the lawn" created by Samuel Howitt in 1794, we are ushered into a dynamic scene of an 18th-century fox hunt, vividly capturing the energy and fervor of this traditional British sport. The artwork features four horsemen, animatedly engaged in the chase, with one prominently at the forefront where a collision seems imminent. Each rider, distinct in colored attire, adds to the composition's vibrancy and helps to guide the viewer’s eye across the canvas.The riders, decked in traditional hunting regalia, charge across a rustic landscape dotted with sparse trees and fence lines, indicative of a broad, open countryside. The fluid lines and motion conveyed by the galloping horses and the billowing coats of the riders lend a sense of urgent movement, pulling the observer into the thrill and haste of the chase.Subtly in the background, the misty tone gives way to an awakening dawn, or perhaps the soft light of an ending day, suggesting not merely the capture of an event but the essence of temporal beauty and transience inherent in such scenes.Samuel Howitt, renowned for his depictions of animals and hunting scenes, showcases his ability to combine the excitement of the hunt with pastoral beauty, creating a timeless piece that appeals to both aficionados of equestrian art and lovers of classical landscapes.
