Henry Thomas Alken, a prominent English painter and engraver, is renowned for his vivid and dynamic depictions of sporting scenes, particularly those involving hunting and equestrian activities. Among his notable works is the series "On The Scent; Full Cry; Cornered; The Kill," which captures the exhilarating and sequential stages of a fox hunt. This series exemplifies Alken's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey motion and excitement through his art.

Created during the early 19th century, a period when fox hunting was a popular pastime among the British gentry, these works reflect the cultural and social milieu of the time. Alken's illustrations are not merely artistic representations but also serve as historical documents that offer insights into the customs and practices of the era. Each piece in the series portrays a different phase of the hunt, from the initial tracking of the fox ("On The Scent"), to the intense pursuit ("Full Cry"), the moment of capture ("Cornered"), and finally, the culmination of the hunt ("The Kill").

Alken's mastery in capturing the essence of the hunt is evident in his meticulous attention to the anatomy and movement of both the horses and the hounds. His use of vibrant colors and dynamic compositions brings a sense of immediacy and drama to the scenes, engaging the viewer and conveying the thrill of the chase. The series is also notable for its narrative quality, as each piece builds upon the previous one to tell a complete story.

"On The Scent; Full Cry; Cornered; The Kill" remains a significant work in Alken's oeuvre, showcasing his talent and his contribution to the genre of sporting art. His ability to blend artistic skill with a deep understanding of his subject matter has ensured that his works continue to be celebrated and studied by art enthusiasts and historians alike.
