"Buffalo Hunt - Surround" is a painting by George Catlin, an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Catlin's work is particularly significant for its ethnographic accuracy and its portrayal of indigenous cultures during the early 19th century, a period when they were increasingly coming into contact with European-American settlers and the United States government.

Created in the 1830s, "Buffalo Hunt - Surround" captures a moment of intense action and cultural significance. The painting depicts a hunting technique used by Plains Indians known as "surround," where hunters on horseback encircle a herd of buffalo (American bison), driving them into a compact mass for easier hunting. This method required significant skill and coordination and was a vital aspect of the Plains Indians' way of life, providing them with food, clothing, and materials for shelter and tools.

Catlin's painting is characterized by its dynamic composition and attention to detail, both in the depiction of the human figures and the animals. The artist's use of color and his ability to convey movement and tension in the scene are notable. Through his work, Catlin aimed to document and preserve the customs and appearances of America's native peoples, fearing that their way of life was under threat and might soon vanish.

"Buffalo Hunt - Surround" is part of a larger collection of works by Catlin, many of which were produced during several trips he took to the Western United States during the 1830s. These trips allowed him to observe Native American cultures firsthand. His paintings are considered an invaluable record of a time and people that were facing rapid change and displacement.

As with many of Catlin's works, "Buffalo Hunt - Surround" is not only a piece of art but also an important historical document. It provides insight into the life of the Plains Indians and the environment in which they lived, both of which have been dramatically altered since the time of Catlin's travels. The painting is held in high esteem for its contribution to the understanding of American history and the history of the American West.
