Drawing on the primal tooth and claw drama of a 17th-century European deer hunt, reimagined in the New World of Colonial Australia, Joseph McGlennon’s The Hunt demonstrates a departure from the orthodox rules of contemporary photography. Paying homage to the great Flemish painter Frans Snyders, The Hunt is an arresting, impeccably composed master narrative that in every way demonstrates McGlennon’s unparalleled talent.
