Rich tones and complex
layering of textures, provide a depth of intensity to this Mark
King painting and also are the hallmarks that signify great tapestry.
Like great art, these timeless art textile creations have been cherished
since medieval times and esteemed through the ages.
In this tapestry inspired
tableau, King brings a theatrical woodland drama to the classic
Hunt Party theme. The riders appear as courtly figures as they are
silhouetted against the autumnal luminosity of imagined Royal Woods.
Swirling leaves have always been a favored motif for tapestry, and
in this striking painting, you are mindful of the wonderful golden
rustle the dogs make as they course over the fall terrain.
The Hunt motif has long
been a signature subject for Mark King, and with the splendid incorporation
of tapestry effects woven expertly and effortlessly into this dramatic
painting, the resulting Baronial feel will add grace and fulfillment
to any room it adorns. |
