After Chevy Chase. Drawing room, Cragside, Northumberland
‘After Chevy Chase’ is based on a folk ballad about a battle between the Earl of Northumberland and the Scottish Earl of Douglas over an area of hunting land (or chase) in the Cheviot Hills. In Dicksee’s painting, the battle has been fought and a dead knight lies face-down, guarded by his faithful hounds. It is perhaps no coincidence that the dogs occupy a position of prominence, as the artist specialised in painting dogs, especially deerhounds like the one at the left of the painting..
