Painting Description
"Hunting Scenes Full Cry" is a series of paintings by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter and engraver known for his depictions of hunting, coaching, racing, and other sporting subjects. Born on October 12, 1785, Alken was a prolific artist whose work captured the essence of British country life during the early 19th century. The "Full Cry" series specifically portrays the excitement and dynamism of the fox hunt, a popular and traditional British pastime.
The paintings in the "Hunting Scenes Full Cry" series are characterized by their vibrant portrayal of the hunt in full action. Alken's ability to convey the movement of the horses and hounds, as well as the expressions of the riders, reflects his intimate knowledge of the sport and his skill as an artist. The term "full cry" refers to the moment in a hunt when the hounds are in hot pursuit of the fox, and their baying is at its most intense, a moment that Alken captures with great energy and detail.
Alken's work was widely appreciated during his lifetime and remains significant today for its historical value and its representation of British sporting culture. His paintings are often noted for their accuracy in depicting various aspects of the hunts, from the landscapes and animals to the attire and customs of the participants. "Hunting Scenes Full Cry" not only serves as an artistic collection but also as a visual document of an era when fox hunting was an integral part of rural British life.
The series is a testament to Alken's reputation as one of the foremost sporting artists of his time. His work continues to be sought after by collectors and is held in high regard by institutions that specialize in British art and history. The "Hunting Scenes Full Cry" paintings are a highlight of Alken's extensive oeuvre and contribute to the understanding of the cultural significance of fox hunting in the 19th century.
