Painting Description
"Sir Richard Sutton and the Quorn Hounds" is an engraving by Frederick Bromley based on a painting by Sir Francis Grant. This work of art, created in the 19th century, depicts Sir Richard Sutton, 2nd Baronet (1798–1855), alongside the Quorn Hunt, one of England's oldest fox hunting packs. The original painting by Grant, who was himself a keen sportsman and later became the President of the Royal Academy, captures the essence of the traditional British field sport and the aristocratic society associated with it.
The engraving by Bromley is significant as it reflects the Victorian era's fascination with country sports and the idealization of rural English life. It also serves as a historical document of the people and social customs of the time. Sir Richard Sutton, portrayed in the artwork, was a notable figure in the hunting world and served as Master of the Quorn Hunt, one of the most prestigious hunting societies, from 1846 until his death in 1855.
The Quorn Hunt was established in 1696 and took its name from the Leicestershire village of Quorn. The hunt has been associated with many prominent individuals over the centuries and remains active to this day, although with a focus on drag hunting following the Hunting Act 2004 in the UK, which outlawed the hunting of foxes with dogs.
Frederick Bromley, an accomplished engraver, was known for his works that often reproduced the paintings of well-known artists of the time. His engravings were highly regarded for their quality and attention to detail, making art more accessible to the Victorian middle class.
"Sir Richard Sutton and the Quorn Hounds" is a work that continues to be of interest to those studying the history of British sport, art, and society. It is a testament to the skills of both Grant as a painter and Bromley as an engraver, and it remains a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of hunting and sporting art.
