Painting Description
"Hog Hunting The Find, engraved and published by Messrs Fores, c.1840 by Captain John Platt, is a notable work of art that captures the essence of a traditional British sporting activity from the early Victorian era. This engraving is part of a genre of works that celebrated and documented the practices of hunting and field sports, which were an integral aspect of British aristocratic and rural life during the 19th century. The piece is characterized by its detailed depiction of the excitement and anticipation that surrounds the discovery or 'find' of a wild boar during a hunt.
Captain John Platt, the artist behind this work, was known for his contributions to the portrayal of hunting scenes, which were popular subjects for engravings of the time. His ability to convey the dynamic movement of both the hunters and the hunted, as well as his attention to the nuances of the natural landscape, are evident in this piece. The engraving was published by Messrs Fores, a company renowned for specializing in sporting and social satire prints, which played a significant role in disseminating such images to a broader audience.
The scene depicted in 'Hog Hunting The Find' is rich with detail, from the expressions of the hunters and their hounds to the textures of the surrounding foliage and terrain. The artwork not only serves as a visual record of sporting practices but also provides insight into the cultural values and leisure pursuits of the period.
