"Fox Hunting: Unkennelling; Breaking Cover; Full Cry; And The Death" is a notable series of paintings by the English artist Henry Thomas Alken, who was renowned for his depictions of sporting and hunting scenes in the early 19th century. Alken, born in 1785, was a prolific artist whose works captured the vibrant and dynamic essence of British country life, particularly focusing on equestrian and hunting subjects.

This series, created in the early 1820s, is a quintessential example of Alken's ability to convey the excitement and drama of fox hunting, a popular pastime among the British gentry of the period. Each painting in the series represents a different stage of the hunt, providing a narrative sequence that immerses the viewer in the experience from start to finish.

"Unkennelling" depicts the initial stage where the hounds are released from their kennels, eager and ready to begin the chase. "Breaking Cover" shows the moment when the fox is flushed out of its hiding place, a critical and thrilling point in the hunt. "Full Cry" captures the hounds in hot pursuit of the fox, with the hunters following closely behind, illustrating the speed and intensity of the chase. Finally, "The Death" portrays the culmination of the hunt, where the exhausted fox is caught by the hounds.

Alken's attention to detail, his dynamic compositions, and his ability to capture the movement and energy of both the animals and the hunters make this series a significant contribution to the genre of sporting art. The series not only reflects the cultural importance of fox hunting in 19th-century Britain but also showcases Alken's skill in rendering complex action scenes with vivid realism and emotional impact.
