"Going Out; Breaking Cover; Full Cry; The Death" is a series of four paintings by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter known for his work depicting hunting, coaching, racing, and other sporting scenes. Created in the early 19th century, these paintings vividly capture the stages of a traditional British fox hunt, a subject that was popular in the art and culture of the period.

The series begins with "Going Out," which typically would depict the start of the hunt, with riders in their red coats and horses assembled, ready to begin the pursuit. This is followed by "Breaking Cover," illustrating the moment when the fox is found and the chase begins in earnest. "Full Cry" captures the height of the chase, with the hounds in pursuit and the hunters following. The final painting, "The Death," portrays the conclusion of the hunt, where the fox is caught by the hounds.

Alken's work is characterized by its dynamic representation of movement and the detailed portrayal of the participants and landscapes. His ability to convey the excitement and energy of the hunt made him one of the foremost sporting artists of his time. These paintings not only reflect the sporting life of the British gentry but also serve as historical documents of the era's social and cultural practices.

The "Going Out; Breaking Cover; Full Cry; The Death" series is an excellent example of Alken's artistic legacy, showcasing his skill in capturing the essence of the hunt and the British countryside. As with many of his works, these paintings are highly sought after by collectors and are often seen as quintessential representations of the sporting genre in British art history.
