This picture is one of a series of paintings that dominate kind of the last decade of his life and to many are the sort of high points of his career.
So in this decade, he really focuses in on the image of the heroic stag as a sort of symbol of the majesty and romance and drama of Scotland.
And he uses the stag kind of as a vehicle to express all those emotions that he's trying to convey of the Highlands and the Highland way of life and the ethos of it all, although painted differently.
almost 10 years later, it is almost a sister painting to the Monarch of the Glen.
It's much grander in scale, it's sort of fulsome in its composition, but the stag here almost mirrors the stag in Monarch of the Glen in terms of composition and they kind of speak to each other across the years and they really
the sort of beginning and end of this high point period of Landseer's art.
Good evening, Derek.
Very well, thank you.
So the auction is coming up on Wednesday evening.
And one of the highlights is this fantastic painting by Sir Edwin Landseer, which has been tucked away in a private collection for most of its life.
but is really one of the sort of epic achievements of his career.
And it's extremely exciting to have it.
Well, so Landseer is really the most important animal painter of the 19th century.
He's sort of to the 19th century what George Stubbs was to the 18th.
He was a child prodigy who, from a very, very early age, was able to
produce images of animals that were incredibly anatomically accurate, but conveyed a sense of the animal's nature and movement extremely forcefully.
He had an extremely successful commercial career as an artist.
He was beloved of Victorian society.
He was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's favourite artist, and as a result, he's very, very well represented in the Royal Collection, as well as across most of our major cultural institutions in this country.
He did, absolutely.
