“Munnings frequently experimented with this theme of a huntsman manoeuvering through thick brush approaching a bank or ditch and this is typical of his style at this date. His own hunting experiences often inspired his vision and it is probable that this horse is ‘the brown mare’ whom Munnings describes in his memoirs as ‘a dark brown six-year-old mare fifteen hands three inches high with a cock tail…Good natured to the last degree, she served as a hack, hunter and model…[She was] “a good ‘un”‘ (A.J. Munnings, An Artist’s Life, Bungay, 1950, pp. 183-4).”

Who doesn’t like a little Mozart and Munning on a Wednesday morning? I love the painting, although I am not a big fan of ‘The Hunt.’ The colors and mood of it are just lovely. Mozart is always uplifting in the mornings, too! Well – any time of the day is good for me. Thank you for the lovely post. Have a great day ahead!

Mozart was 14 or 15 when he wrote this. He got better.

A very enjoyable performance, light and sunny, yet with a generously full sound.
