Painted whilst Munnings was living in Cornwall, 'December Morning, Cornwall' depicts a huntsman surrounded by his scampering, eager dogs trotting along the Cornish lanes in the crisp morning sun of a winter’s day, and is a celebration of the great artist’s skill as a colourist. The first painter to note that a horse’s coat reflects the colour of its surroundings, Munnings masterfully bathes his subject in the blue and orange highlights of the morning. One of the artist’s few works depicting the horse ‘head on’, December Morning shows Munnings’s understanding of light and tone at its very best.
Munnings was struck by the beauty of the landscape in Cornwall. It was here that Munnings painted some of his finest landscapes. Concentrating on landscapes of the interior of the Cornish landscape rather than the more popular coast, Munnings continued to paint his favoured subjects of horses and hunting scenes, exploring the motif of a single majestic huntsman. December Morning, Cornwall is one of only a handful of known works depicting the horse and rider ‘head on’ in Munnings oeuvre. Munnings may well have experimented with this more complex compositional approach in response to seeing Lucy Kemp Welch's masterpiece Colt Hunting in the New Forest (Tate Britain), which was painted and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1897. Munnings had first approached this subject in 1906 in his pivotal work A Huntsman and his Hounds (Gladwell & Patterson, London) which exudes energy with the lively foxhounds and their patchwork variety of brown, white and black markings scampering at the feet of the red coated rider as they all move through a loosely depicted woodland. Munnings captures the limitless rolling landscape of the area around Zennor in December Morning, Cornwall. The distant sea is visible upon the horizon and the deep, tree-lined valleys are painted in bold blocks of colour, while the horse and rider are lit up in the crisp, bright morning light. An active member of the Western Foxhounds at Zennor, this exquisite painting represents Munnings passion for riding, the hunt and also the beauty of the windswept Cornish landscape.
