Painting Description
"Rubbing Down After A Fox-chace" is a notable 18th-century print created by Carington Bowles, a prominent British printmaker and publisher. Bowles, who was active during the latter half of the 18th century, is well-known for his detailed and vibrant prints that often depicted scenes of everyday life, sporting events, and social activities of the time. This particular print captures the essence of the British countryside and the popular pastime of fox hunting, which was a significant social activity among the British gentry.
The scene in "Rubbing Down After A Fox-chace" is set in the aftermath of a fox hunt, a traditional and highly ritualized sport that involved tracking and chasing foxes with the aid of hounds and horses. The print vividly illustrates the moment when the hunters, having completed their chase, are tending to their horses. This process, known as "rubbing down," involves grooming and caring for the horses to ensure their well-being after the strenuous activity. The attention to detail in the depiction of the horses, the attire of the hunters, and the rural landscape provides a rich visual narrative that offers insight into the customs and lifestyle of the period.
Carington Bowles' work is characterized by its meticulous craftsmanship and the ability to capture the dynamic energy of the scenes he portrayed. His prints were widely distributed and appreciated for their artistic quality and their ability to reflect contemporary social practices. "Rubbing Down After A Fox-chace" is a fine example of Bowles' skill in combining artistic expression with historical documentation, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of British cultural history. The print not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical record of the leisure activities and societal norms of 18th-century Britain.
