Painting Description
"Going Out; Breakingcover; Full Cry; The Death" is a series of four paintings by the renowned English artist and engraver Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851). Alken is celebrated for his dynamic and vivid depictions of sporting scenes, particularly those involving hunting, racing, and other equestrian activities. This series, created in the early 19th century, exemplifies Alken's mastery in capturing the excitement and drama of the hunt, a popular pastime among the British aristocracy of the period.
Each painting in the series represents a different stage of a fox hunt, a traditional and culturally significant activity in England. "Going Out" illustrates the initial phase where the hunters, mounted on their horses and accompanied by hounds, set out in pursuit of the fox. This scene is characterized by a sense of anticipation and readiness, with the participants eager for the chase.
"Breakingcover" depicts the moment when the fox is flushed out of its hiding place, triggering the chase. Alken's attention to detail and ability to convey motion are evident as the hounds and riders spring into action, capturing the thrill and urgency of the hunt.
"Full Cry" shows the hunt in full pursuit, with the hounds and hunters at their most intense and animated. The energy and speed of the chase are palpable, showcasing Alken's skill in rendering movement and the chaotic beauty of the hunt.
Finally, "The Death" portrays the culmination of the hunt, where the fox is caught. This scene often carries a mix of triumph and somberness, reflecting the complex emotions associated with the conclusion of the chase.
Alken's work is notable not only for its artistic quality but also for its historical significance, offering a window into the social and cultural practices of early 19th-century England. His paintings are appreciated for their lively compositions, rich detail, and the way they encapsulate the spirit of the times.
