Edward Benjamin Herberte was a 19th-century British artist known for his detailed and dynamic depictions of equestrian and hunting scenes. Among his notable works is the series titled "The Meet; On The Scent; Full Cry; And The Finish." This series captures the essence of a traditional fox hunt, a popular and culturally significant activity in Victorian England. Each painting in the series meticulously illustrates different stages of the hunt, showcasing Herberte's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey motion and excitement.

"The Meet" typically portrays the gathering of hunters, horses, and hounds at the start of the hunt. This scene is often characterized by a sense of anticipation and camaraderie among the participants. Herberte's attention to the attire of the riders, the breeds of the horses, and the various expressions of the hounds adds a layer of authenticity and historical accuracy to the piece.

"On The Scent" captures the moment when the hounds pick up the scent of the fox. This painting is usually filled with energy and movement, as the hounds eagerly follow the trail and the riders prepare for the chase. Herberte's use of light and shadow, as well as his depiction of the natural landscape, enhances the drama and urgency of the scene.

"Full Cry" is perhaps the most dynamic of the series, illustrating the hounds in full pursuit of the fox. The intensity of the chase is palpable, with horses and riders in mid-gallop, and the hounds almost airborne in their fervor. Herberte's skill in capturing the fluidity of motion and the thrill of the hunt is evident in this piece.

Finally, "And The Finish" depicts the conclusion of the hunt, often showing the exhausted hounds and riders, and sometimes the capture of the fox. This painting brings a sense of closure and reflection, highlighting the endurance and determination of both the animals and the hunters.

Herberte's series not only serves as a visual documentation of a quintessentially British pastime but also reflects the social and cultural values of the time. His work remains a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of fox hunting and its significance in Victorian society.
