The Turkey Hunters, 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Newell Convers Wyeth. This remarkable artwork measures an impressive 274.3x883.9 cm and belongs to a private collection. Commissioned by The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1939, it is part of a series of fourteen mural panels that depict the early experiences of the Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In this particular scene, Wyeth transports us back to the autumnal landscape of New England during the time of the Pilgrims. A group of men, dressed as pilgrims, are engaged in an exhilarating turkey hunt amidst nature's vibrant fall colors. With their rifles poised and ready for action, they eagerly pursue their prey through the dense forest. The painting beautifully captures both the serenity and excitement of this momentous occasion. As we observe these hunters in flight, we can almost feel their anticipation and determination to provide sustenance for their community. Wyeth's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life – from the majestic turkeys soaring above them to the rugged terrain beneath their feet. The presence of Native Americans adds depth and complexity to this historical narrative, reminding us of the intricate relationships between settlers and indigenous peoples during this era. "The Turkey Hunters" serves as a powerful reminder not only of our nation's history but also our connection with nature and our collective pursuit for survival. It stands as a testament to Wyeth's skillful storytelling ability through his masterful brushstrokes
