Wild Boar Hunt, c1675. Two princely figures on horseback powerfully charge at a wild boar, simultaneously plunging their weapons into its side just in time to save their companion, who has fallen immediately in front of the enraged animal. The royal hunt was a longstanding tradition in India, demonstrating the bravery and might of the ruler, and involving many of the same skills required for warfare.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century painting, titled 'Wild Boar Hunt,' depicts two regal figures on horseback boldly charging towards a wild boar, skillfully plunging their weapons into the animal's side in a heroic rescue mission. The scene unfolds in the rich cultural landscape of India during the 1670s, where the royal hunt was an esteemed tradition, symbolizing the ruler's courage and military prowess. In the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan, the springtime boar hunt held particular significance, as a successful hunt was believed to bring good fortune for the year ahead. The painting, executed in opaque watercolor on paper, showcases the dynamic interplay of color and form as the hunters and their hounds pursue the wild Eurasian boar through the dappled terrain. The hunters, dressed in ornate attire, display a sense of determination and focus as they aim their weapons at the enraged beast. The fallen companion, who has narrowly escaped the boar's wrath, lies in the foreground, adding a sense of urgency and peril to the scene. The intricate details of the horses, their manes and tails flowing in the wind, and the hunting dogs in hot pursuit, add depth and texture to the artwork. The painting's composition effectively conveys the thrill and danger of the hunt, transporting the viewer to a time when the skills required for warfare were also essential for the royal pastime. This magnificent work of art, from the Walters Art Museum, is a testament to the rich heritage and traditions of India during the seventeenth century.
