Painting Description
"Full Cry, plate from 'The Right and The Wrong Sort', in Fores Hunting Sketches 1859" is a notable work by the British artist Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851), an influential figure in 19th-century British sporting art. This piece is part of a series published in 1859, showcasing Alken's keen observation and artistic rendition of hunting scenes, a popular subject of the era. "Full Cry" captures the dynamic energy and fervor of a fox hunt, a tradition deeply embedded in British culture and society at the time.
Henry Thomas Alken's work is characterized by its detailed depiction of both the human and animal figures, capturing the movement and excitement of the hunt with a remarkable sense of life and immediacy. His ability to portray the nuanced differences between 'The Right and The Wrong Sort' of hunting scenes, as indicated in the series title, reflects not only his artistic skill but also his understanding of the social and cultural nuances of hunting. The series, including "Full Cry," was published by Fores, a notable London publisher known for specializing in sporting and hunting scenes, further cementing Alken's reputation in this genre.
"Full Cry" and the accompanying plates in "Fores Hunting Sketches" are significant for their historical and cultural value, offering insight into the practices, attire, and attitudes of 19th-century British hunting society. They also stand as a testament to Alken's mastery in capturing the essence of the hunt, making him a pivotal figure in the tradition of British sporting art. This work, like many of Alken's, remains appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its documentation of a bygone era, providing a window into the past for contemporary audiences.
