About this work

A group of hunters on horseback chase a stag through a wooded forest. Dogs run ahead, barking. Trees blur past as the horses leap over roots and rocks. The sky is cloudy and gray. This painting was made in 1732 by Domenico Brandi, an Italian artist who often painted scenes of daily life and outdoor activities. He liked showing movement—how animals run and how people sit on galloping horses. The forest is crowded with plants, painted in careful detail. You can almost hear the noise of the hunt. Brandi didn’t just paint still moments—he liked action. For more lively forest hunts painted in the same dramatic style, look up the Baroque movement.
