Original Description
Rising dramatically from the misty Vale of Evesham, Full Cry In Vale Evesham With The Malvern Hills In The Distance by Richard Dodd Widdas (1856-1922) encapsulates the Romantic spirit of Victorian sporting art. The painting captures a pivotal moment of the hunt – hounds in spirited pursuit, their energy mirrored in the dynamic brushwork that animates the rural landscape. Widdas, known for his meticulous animal portraiture and atmospheric landscapes, employs rich earth tones contrasted with flashes of white and tan to lead the viewer's eye through the composition. Distant Malvern Hills, rendered in soft blues and purples, anchor the scene with geographic specificity while demonstrating the artist's academic training in perspective. As part of the British sporting art tradition that flourished during the 19th century, this work represents both a historical record of country pursuits and a technical showcase of Widdas' ability to balance narrative action with topographic accuracy. Particularly notable is his treatment of light filtering through the autumnal foliage, a technique that places him among important contemporaries like John Frederick Herring Jr.
For interior placement, this painting commands attention best in traditional study or equestrian-themed spaces. Its ideal width of 36-48 inches suits placement above a fireplace mantel or as a focal point in a wood-paneled hallway, where warm walnut or mahogany frames would enhance the earthy palette. The scene's kinetic energy pairs well with leather Chesterfield furniture and hunt-themed accessories, while the soft blues in distant hills could be echoed through upholstery or rug selections. In corporate settings, consider hanging in executive offices with dark wood furnishings to reinforce heritage and dynamism. Avoid overwhelming the composition with competing artwork – a single companion piece like a brass fox sculpture or a smaller landscape sketch would maintain visual hierarchy. Lighting should emphasize texture; directional spotlights at 30-degree angles will make the impasto brushstrokes cast subtle shadows, increasing dimensionality.
