About the piece
Painted by Jan Wyck around 1690, this oil painting captures the aristocratic pursuit of heron hawking in the British countryside. The composition leads the eye from the finely rendered hunting party and their hounds in the foreground across a sweeping valley toward the iconic silhouette of Stirling Castle. The atmospheric light and earthy palette are hallmarks of Wyck’s influential style, which helped establish the tradition of British sporting art.
