Hazenjacht 1819 - 1881

"Hazenjacht" (Hare Hunt), an etching by Johannes Tavenraat, depicts a dramatic scene of a hare hunt. The artist, known for his landscapes and animal studies, captures the raw energy of the chase, with hounds and hares in full flight. The composition, featuring a dark, stormy sky and a light-filled foreground, creates a sense of urgency and suspense. Tavenraat's skillful use of line and light creates a dynamic and evocative image that showcases the artist's mastery of printmaking. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the enduring legacy of Dutch art.
