EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil painting by George Stubbs, titled "Two Gentlemen Going a Shooting, with a View of Creswell Crags, Taken on the Spot" transports us back to 18th century Britain. The artwork showcases two well-dressed gentlemen preparing for a hunting excursion amidst the rustic charm of rural life. As they stand outside their quaint thatched cottage, one gentleman holds his rifle while his loyal hunting dog eagerly awaits their departure. The men's attire and weaponry reflect the era's fascination with outdoor pursuits and warfare. The focal point of this masterpiece is undoubtedly the breathtaking view of Creswell Crags in Nottinghamshire. With its towering cliffs and meandering riverbank, this geographical feature adds depth and serenity to the composition.
