Hunting is Art: Rediscovering the value of hunting through art is possible and in Italy there are many painters, sculptors, photographers and writers who with their art speak of hunting, love for nature and of course life .
That hunting art has always stimulated man's artistic vein is something that prehistoric rock paintings could confirm with certainty. And not even the purpose of the frescoes, sculptures and all the artistic expressions that are linked to the hunting activity need to be changed so much if yesterday painting a mouflon on the wall of a dimly lit cave had a propitiatory purpose and today it has more simply the purpose of venerate it, to admire it, to fondle it.
It is one thing, the art that accompanies hunting, which also brings non-professionals closer to hunting and which basically speaks of all that love that hunters have towards the nature that surrounds them.
On the other hand, it would be impossible to depict hunting subjects with such precision, without having treated them over time with interesting, admired, influenced by the charm of nature.
It is no coincidence that many of the artists who put paintings on canvas, paper or stone that closely resemble hunting subjects are mainly hunters, who find an alternative way to express their unconditional love for the environment that surrounds them. .
After all, the ability of the artists who celebrate hunting is precisely this, to focus on those sensations, those emotions that only hunting art is capable of giving.
This is how often painting hunting, sculpting stone with a touch of artistic flair becomes not only a hymn to nature but above all a hymn to life.
The art that portrays hunting scenes, on the other hand, does not end exclusively in classic painting or sculpture, but more often finds its outlet in photography, writing, drawing or perhaps in engraving.
An ancient trend, which has also been rediscovering in recent times, is that of imprinting hunting scenes on plates or tiles that will become fascinating furnishing accessories and that will give the house something bucolic, lively and sparkling.
There are so many Italian artists who work in this sector; it would be difficult to forget the case of Alessia Griglio, who with her touch in black and white draws a complicated and realistic nature, all details and details, or Andrea Mazzoli, now an established painter and hunter for passion and family tradition.
It goes without saying that a man so sensitive to beauty and art considers hunting as one of the many ways to approach nature.
Then there is Raffaele Scarciglia, Giulio Tasca, Cesare Rabitti, Roberto Bianchi and Giusy Rampini, Giorgio Campolunghi, Giuseppe Rumerio and Rita Matrella.
These are just some of the artists who put on paper, coloring it with artistic flair, a varied and tasty nature that can be fully tasted only with the practice of hunting.
