About the Item

Two hinds on the run in the snow This 1861 painting illustrates a hunting scene of great dramatic and naturalistic intensity, typical of 19th-century animal painting. In the heart of a wintry forest landscape, two hinds leap across a snowy path, surprised and in full flight. Their movements are captured with striking realism: taut muscles, lively gazes, finely detailed coats. Behind them, a hound dog pursues them, mouth open and paws outstretched in rapid flight. The immediacy of the movement lends a palpable tension to the scene. The composition creates a striking contrast between the stillness of nature - the snow-laden fir trees, the frosted grasses, the soft light of the winter sky - and the precipitous movement of the animals. The twilight lighting, bathing the scene in a rosy, golden light, evokes the end of a winter's day and adds a poetic dimension to the dramatic tension. The details of the vegetation, the effects of matter in the snow, and the atmospheric rendering of the sky are the fruit of a rigorous pictorial technique, reflecting a great mastery of landscape and animal realism. Here, the painter demonstrates not only an attentive eye for nature, but also an ability to render emotion and movement.
