Painting Description
Dean Wolstenholme, Snr. was a notable English painter renowned for his contributions to sporting art, particularly his depictions of hunting scenes. Among his celebrated works is the series titled "The Check; Breaking For Cover; The Death; And Breaking Cover." This series exemplifies Wolstenholme's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the dynamic energy of the hunt, a popular subject in British art during the 18th and 19th centuries.
"The Check; Breaking For Cover; The Death; And Breaking Cover" is a sequence of paintings that narratively and visually encapsulate the various stages of a fox hunt. Each painting in the series serves as a vignette, portraying different moments of the chase, from the initial pursuit to the climactic capture. Wolstenholme's meticulous attention to the anatomy and movement of both the hunters and the hounds, as well as his adeptness at rendering the English countryside, are evident throughout the series.
In "The Check," Wolstenholme captures the moment when the hounds momentarily lose the scent of the fox, creating a pause in the action. "Breaking For Cover" depicts the fox making a desperate dash for safety, with the hounds and hunters in hot pursuit. "The Death" portrays the culmination of the hunt, with the hounds closing in on their quarry. Finally, "Breaking Cover" illustrates the aftermath, as the hunters and their dogs regroup and prepare for the next chase.
Wolstenholme's work is characterized by its dynamic composition and the vivid portrayal of movement, which brings the excitement and tension of the hunt to life. His paintings not only reflect the sporting culture of his time but also serve as historical documents, providing insight into the practices and social aspects of fox hunting in 19th-century England. Wolstenholme's legacy in the realm of sporting art remains significant, and "The Check; Breaking For Cover; The Death; And Breaking Cover" stands as a testament to his skill and artistic vision.
