"Full Cry" is a notable work by the English artist and engraver Henry Thomas Alken, who is renowned for his contributions to sporting and hunting art in the early 19th century. Alken, born in 1785, was a prolific artist whose works vividly captured the essence of English country life, particularly the pursuits of the upper classes. His detailed and dynamic depictions of hunting scenes, equestrian activities, and rural landscapes have cemented his reputation as a significant figure in the genre of sporting art.

"Full Cry" is a quintessential example of Alken's ability to convey the excitement and movement inherent in fox hunting, a popular pastime among the British gentry during his time. The term "full cry" refers to the moment in a hunt when the hounds are in full pursuit of their quarry, baying loudly as they close in. This moment is often depicted with great energy and drama, capturing the thrill of the chase.

Alken's work in "Full Cry" is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his skillful use of color and composition. The painting or print typically features a pack of hounds in vigorous pursuit, with riders on horseback following closely behind. The landscape is often rendered with a keen eye for the natural beauty of the English countryside, adding a picturesque quality to the scene.

Alken's contributions to the art world extend beyond his individual works; he also produced numerous series of prints and illustrated books that were highly popular in his day. His works were widely disseminated and appreciated, making him a household name among enthusiasts of sporting art. "Full Cry" remains a celebrated piece within Alken's oeuvre, exemplifying his mastery in capturing the dynamic and spirited nature of the hunt.
