Ep 435 - Jenny Hand - Capturing the Energy

Capturing the Energy explores the life and work of Sir Alfred Munnings, widely regarded as the greatest equine artist of the 20th century. Jenny Hand, Director of the Munnings Museum in Dedham, Suffolk since 2013, discusses why Munnings should be appreciated as much more than an equine painter. We explore the qualities that made him such an exceptional artist, the influence of Constable on his work, and his remarkable ability to capture movement and energy on canvas. As Jenny says, “He makes the whole canvas move.” You’ll also hear from Canadian equine sporting artist Liz Chomicki, who recently visited the Munnings Museum and shares her thoughts on the museum and Munnings’ work. Recorded as the Munnings Museum celebrates its 65th anniversary, this episode offers a fascinating insight into the artist whose paintings continue to define equine art today.
