"Fox Hunting" is a series of paintings by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter and engraver primarily known for his works depicting sporting scenes, including hunting, fishing, and horse racing. Born in 1785, Alken became one of the leading figures in British sporting art during the 19th century. The "Fox Hunting" series captures the essence and excitement of the fox hunting tradition, a popular aristocratic sport during this period in Britain.

The series showcases various stages of the hunt, from the initial gathering of the hunters, often depicted in their distinctive red coats, through the chase, to the kill. Alken's work is celebrated for its dynamic representation of movement and meticulous attention to detail, qualities that bring the thrill of the hunt to life on canvas. His ability to depict the British countryside with such vibrancy and the animated expressions of both the hunters and their hounds adds a lively realism to his scenes.

Alken's "Fox Hunting" series not only serves as a historical record of early 19th-century British social and sporting culture but also demonstrates his skill in capturing the nuanced interactions between humans, animals, and their environment. Through his art, Alken provides insight into the complexities of the hunt, including the camaraderie among the hunters, the training and role of the hounds, and the beauty and challenges of the natural landscape.

While the exact dates of creation for the "Fox Hunting" series are not clearly documented, they are believed to have been produced during the peak of Alken's career, between 1810 and 1830. The series is significant in Alken's oeuvre, highlighting his contribution to the genre of sporting art and his influence on subsequent artists in the field. Today, Henry Thomas Alken's "Fox Hunting" paintings are held in high regard, appreciated by both art historians and enthusiasts of equestrian and sporting art for their historical value and artistic merit.
