EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and drama of a Wolf and Fox Hunt, painted by the renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens in 1616. Measuring an impressive 245.4x376.2 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Rubens was known for his large-scale "hunts" which served as more affordable alternatives to tapestries during that time. While he had assistance from his studio in creating this artwork, Rubens proudly claimed that the depiction of wolves was entirely his own work. The painting showcases a group of aristocrats on horseback engaging in a violent blood sport chase. The scene exudes power and opulence as men and women clad in extravagant attire participate in this thrilling hunt. Dogs play a crucial role alongside their human counterparts, adding to the excitement and danger of the pursuit. With its baroque style and meticulous attention to detail, this piece exemplifies Rubens' mastery as both an artist and storyteller. It offers us a glimpse into society's fascination with hunting games during this era while also highlighting themes of power dynamics within aristocratic circles. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced this iconic artwork through fine art printing techniques, allowing enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance for generations to come.
