"Fox Hunting: The Start; The Find; The Chase; And The Death" is a notable series of paintings by Dean Wolstenholme, Snr., an acclaimed British artist renowned for his depictions of rural and sporting scenes. Created in the early 19th century, this series captures the quintessential elements of the traditional English fox hunt, a practice deeply embedded in the cultural and social fabric of the British countryside during that era.

Dean Wolstenholme, Snr. (1757–1837), was a self-taught artist who initially pursued a career in farming before dedicating himself to painting. His works are celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail and dynamic compositions, which vividly bring to life the excitement and pageantry of hunting scenes. The series "Fox Hunting: The Start; The Find; The Chase; And The Death" is among his most distinguished works, offering a sequential narrative that encapsulates the various stages of a fox hunt.

The first painting, "The Start," depicts the gathering of the hunt, with riders and hounds preparing for the day's pursuit. This scene is characterized by its lively atmosphere and the anticipation of the hunt. "The Find" follows, illustrating the moment when the hounds catch the scent of the fox, a pivotal and thrilling instant for the participants. "The Chase" captures the ensuing pursuit, with riders and hounds in full gallop across the countryside, showcasing Wolstenholme's skill in conveying motion and energy. The series concludes with "The Death," portraying the culmination of the hunt as the fox is brought to bay, a scene that evokes both the triumph and the somber reality of the sport.

Wolstenholme's series not only serves as a visual record of fox hunting but also reflects the social dynamics and traditions of the time. His work is appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit, providing insight into the rural life and leisure activities of 19th-century England. The series remains a valuable part of the British sporting art tradition and continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the genre.
