He grew up in North Wales following country pursuits rather than a formal education. Although originally destined for the army, a brief spell with the military proved that this was a career for which he had no aptitude. However, from the age of six he had been actively drawing horses and therefore his mother encouraged his artistic vocation. He studied in London at Heatherly's School of Art, the equivalent of the Atelier Julien in Paris. Edwards is known as the Grand Old Man of Sporting Art because he was an ardent hunter and brilliant draftsman. He was perfectly equipped to portray the frisson of the hunting field: hounds with tongues rolling in exhaustion, strained finely tuned horses on the alert for their next cue, and earnest fraught riders completely absorbed in the physical exertion of thundering over the raw winter land at breakneck pace. Lionel Edwards was deeply involved with and committed to British field sports, even including the challenge of the weather. Having worked for The Graphic and Punch before the First World War, he was increasingly drawn to hunting and sporting art, writing and illustrating many books on field sports. His experience during the First World War in the army remount service, when he had \"four solid years of nothing but horse\", brought an exciting realism to his art. His paintings are usually endowed with \"tempered\" colours reflecting the climate and light, and the influence of these two factors on the British countryside. Lionel Edwards died in 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"21318","title":"The York and Ainsty Hunt - Askham Bog","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine Print on Paper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage size: 13 x 20 inches (33 x 50 cm) Paper Size: 17 x 24 ins (43 x 61 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIONEL EDWARDS (British, 1878 - 1966)","offers":[{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper","offer_id":57509877285195,"sku":"LE02York-21318","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper FRAMED","offer_id":57509877317963,"sku":"LE02YorkF-21318","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/5275\/6811\/files\/gbneoy45plb03i2wh4ccg24527012006145534.jpg?v=1780585496"},{"product_id":"21322","title":"The Duke of Rutland's Hounds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine Print on Paper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage size: 8 x 12 inches (20 x 29 cm) Paper size: 16 x 20 inches (40 x 50 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LIONEL EDWARDS (British, 1878 - 1966)","offers":[{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper","offer_id":57509877645643,"sku":"LE06Rutland-21322","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper FRAMED","offer_id":57509877678411,"sku":"LERutland2-21322","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/5275\/6811\/files\/zjrqxw45gpw4l3vfopw0wz5530012006202827.jpg?v=1780585501"},{"product_id":"21323","title":"The Fernie at Sheepthorns","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine Print on Paper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage size: 10 x 16 inches (25 x 40 cm) Paper size: 16 x 20 inches (40 x 50 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LIONEL EDWARDS (British, 1878 - 1966)","offers":[{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper","offer_id":57509877743947,"sku":"LE07Fernie-21323","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper FRAMED","offer_id":57509877776715,"sku":"LEFernie2-21323","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/5275\/6811\/files\/iko2n4y353m0md45tau5kfby30012006203303.jpg?v=1780585503"},{"product_id":"21324","title":"Captain Frank Spicer;

Edwards was a tremendously keen fox hunter for nearly his entire adult life, and his enthusiasm for the sport manifested itself beautifully in his hunting scenes, which are internationally renowned to this day.This painting is believed to have been executed in around 1912, during an eventful period in Edwards’ life. After his 1905 marriage, he and his wife Ethel had gone to live in Oxfordshire, before moving to Worcestershire in 1909. They stayed there for three years, but finding that the hunting country was “not ideal…having too many woods, market gardens and orchards”, Edwards took his wife and two young children to live in his mother’s home at Benarth, in north Wales.The Edwardses thrived in this rural idyll: many miles from the nearest town, they were obliged to be self-supporting, and with their love of animals and of nature they took readily to a farmer’s life. They grew their own vegetables and kept pigs, cows and poultry, along with a couple of horses for transport. Needless to say, time was also found for hunting. Like so many others, their tranquil existence was to be shattered by the outbreak of the First World War; but the happiness of that time is wonderfully reflected in the warm humour of this memorable painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LIONEL EDWARDS (British, 1878 - 1966)","offers":[{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper","offer_id":57509885837643,"sku":"HHLE20Unlucky-21473","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paper \/ Gouttelette on Paper FRAMED","offer_id":57509885870411,"sku":"HHLE20UnluckyF-21473","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/5275\/6811\/files\/k2uegs451fffhazlkx0yv24513112006230514.jpg?v=1780585580"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/5275\/6811\/collections\/kxuqui55wsdcddrlscfnai5513112006230155.jpg?v=1790088151","url":"https:\/\/equestrianfineart.com\/collections\/lionel-edwards-hunting-prints.oembed?page=2","provider":"Equestrian Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
