Cont I – Hunt – Oil On Canvas – Large Format – Gold Frame

A beautiful oil on canvas attributed to the Conti workshop, depicting a hunt in full swing. The riders, in red frock coats, gallop across a stream, in the precise moment when everything is at stake: the momentum, the balance, the tension of the reins, and the nobility of the mounts. The impasto, applied with a palette knife, gives depth to the scene; the light catches the vibrant white coats of the horses, while the wooded background dissolves into an autumnal mist of brown, ochre, and golden hues—a typical atmosphere for hunting mornings. This painting perfectly captures the spirit of the great huntsmen, the life of the gentleman rider, the Anglo-French equestrian tradition, and the beauty of movement. Oil on canvas. Signature Conti lower right. Canvas dimensions: 110 x 50 cm. Dimensions with frame: 131 x 71 cm. Period gilt frame, in good condition. Strong decorative element.
