Hunting

Long after hunting ceased to be a necessary part of food procurement and the killing of wild animals was no longer required for human protection, hunting remained a motif still closely associated with the sense of traditions of a country or region.

Historically, hunting was often a royal privilege. Especially in England and France, parks with game for hunting were reserved for the king and nobility. Those who went hunting with the king and were familiar with the customs of hunting wild boar, foxes, wolves or hawks belonged to a social class that was distinctly different from the common folk.

The special riding skills of the ruler can be depicted in hunting scenes by the artist in a natural context. High on horseback, the ruler demonstrates that he is given the power and ability to control wild nature. Images showing the prince hunting became a pictorial indication that the sovereign also knew how to direct and control his realm.

The Swiss painter Louis Auguste Brun (1758 - 1815) presents an equestrian portrait of the French queen Marie-Antoinette showing how the regent is able to tame a wildly rearing horse. Julius Zimmermann shows the intrepid Elector Palatine Frederick II in the wild surrounded by his hunting party. George Goddard depicts the Prince of Wales riding out to stag hunt with the Lord of Cork as they graciously return the greetings of bystanders from the back of their horses.

Motifs and scenes of the hunt require great skill on the part of an artist. They are therefore also a rewarding task and challenge for the draughtsman and painter. With the depiction of a horse at a gallop, the hunted and shot game, the lively movement of hunting dogs jumping around or the fauna of the forest in the background, an artist can demonstrate all facets of his skills.
