EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the Qui Vive, Buck and Three Does, 1871" by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait takes us back to the enchanting wilderness of 19th century America. The image showcases a stunning stag surrounded by three graceful does in their natural habitat. Tait's exceptional talent as an artist is evident in this oil painting on wood, which now resides in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the beauty of these majestic creatures against a backdrop of lush countryside. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a bygone era when wildlife roamed freely across the United States. Tait's attention to detail captures every nuance of these animals' features and expressions, allowing us to feel their presence almost tangibly. The composition evokes a sense of anticipation as if they are on high alert ("On the Qui Vive"), ready for any potential danger that may lurk nearby. This piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to America's rich natural heritage. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve these magnificent creatures for future generations. Through Tait's skillful brushstrokes, we can appreciate not only his technical prowess but also his deep reverence for nature itself. As viewers engage with this photograph print at The Met or through reproductions elsewhere, they will undoubtedly be captivated by its timeless beauty and inspired to explore further into American art history.
