Baron Karl Reille, Hunting Scene, Bonnelles Rally, Duchess Of Uzés

Baron Karl Reille (1886-1974): departure for the hunt, Oil on isorel, signed lower left. Youngest son of the Karl Reille family (1886-1974), quickly made a name for himself in hunting art: he brilliantly represented hunting scenes to such an extent that he became one of the most famous hunting painters of the mid-20th century. Both in his brilliant watercolors and in his paintings, he strives to reproduce with care and truth the highlights of hunting with hounds. The painter Karl Reille is also a huntsman2. He attends the hunts and on the ground sketches the animals in action, the various movements of the hunt, the crews in full dress. He therefore works as a painter-reporter. Karl Reille worked in oil from the 1960s after having mainly painted in gouache and watercolor until then. He is probably the most highly rated and the most appreciated of the painters of Vénerie.Source Wikipedia
