Painting Description
Edward Benjamin Herberte's series of paintings, "The Meet; On The Scent; The Chase; Over The Wall; Taking The Ditch; The Kill," is a notable collection that captures the dynamic and exhilarating essence of fox hunting, a traditional British sport. Herberte, an artist active during the 19th century, is renowned for his ability to depict equestrian scenes with remarkable detail and vitality. This series, in particular, stands out for its sequential narrative, which meticulously portrays the various stages of a fox hunt.
"The Meet" sets the scene, illustrating the gathering of hunters and their hounds, often in a picturesque countryside setting. This painting typically features riders in their hunting attire, preparing for the day's pursuit. "On The Scent" follows, capturing the moment when the hounds pick up the fox's trail, a scene filled with anticipation and the thrill of the chase about to begin.
"The Chase" is perhaps the most dynamic of the series, depicting the hounds and hunters in full pursuit, galloping across the landscape. Herberte's skill in conveying movement and the urgency of the chase is evident in the powerful depiction of the horses and the intensity of the riders. "Over The Wall" and "Taking The Ditch" highlight the obstacles encountered during the hunt, showcasing the athleticism and bravery of both the horses and their riders as they navigate walls and ditches in their relentless pursuit.
Finally, "The Kill" concludes the series with the culmination of the hunt. This painting often evokes a mix of triumph and somber reflection, capturing the moment when the hounds catch the fox. Herberte's attention to detail and his ability to convey the emotional complexity of this moment are particularly noteworthy.
Overall, Herberte's series is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the fox hunting tradition, offering a window into a bygone era of British sporting life. The paintings not only highlight the technical prowess of the artist but also serve as historical documents, reflecting the cultural significance of fox hunting in 19th-century Britain.
