EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Coursing: finding a hare" by Samuel Alken takes us back to the 18th century English countryside. The scene depicts a group of greyhounds and their huntsmen eagerly searching for their prey. The dogs are held tightly on leashes, ready to be released at any moment in pursuit of the elusive hare. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this traditional sport, showcasing the skill and agility of both man and beast. Horseback riders can be seen in the background, adding an element of excitement as they navigate through the picturesque landscape. Alken's attention to detail is evident throughout the artwork. From the texture of each brushstroke to the expressions on both human and animal faces, every aspect comes together harmoniously to create a sense of anticipation and energy. The artist's use of warm earth tones further enhances the rural atmosphere, transporting viewers into a world where nature reigns supreme. This painting not only celebrates hunting as a popular pastime but also serves as a testament to our deep connection with animals and our desire for adventure in wild spaces. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this masterpiece continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its timeless depiction of coursing - an enduring symbol of camaraderie between man and his loyal companions amidst nature's vast beauty.
