"The Hunt; And Three Companion Paintings" is a series of four paintings by the British artist Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851), who was renowned for his depictions of hunting, coaching, racing, and other sporting scenes. Alken's work captures the dynamism and drama of the hunt, a popular pastime among the British gentry and a subject that provided rich material for artists during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Each painting in the series portrays a different phase of the fox hunting process, a sport that was an integral part of British rural life and culture. The first painting typically illustrates the gathering of the huntsmen and hounds, setting the scene with anticipation. The subsequent paintings might depict the chase itself, with horsemen and hounds in fervent pursuit of the fox, showcasing Alken's skill in rendering the movement and excitement of the hunt. The final painting could represent the culmination of the hunt, which might be the capture of the fox or the return of the riders.

Alken's work is characterized by its attention to detail, from the expressions of the riders and the anatomy of the horses to the depiction of the British countryside. His ability to convey the speed and energy of the hunt, as well as the social aspects of the event, has made his paintings enduring records of a historical pastime. The series "The Hunt; And Three Companion Paintings" exemplifies Alken's mastery of the genre and his contribution to British sporting art.

Henry Thomas Alken's paintings are sought after by collectors and are often featured in auctions and galleries specializing in historical British art. They also hold cultural significance as they document an era when hunting was not only a sport but also a symbol of social status and tradition. The series is an important part of Alken's oeuvre and offers insight into the sporting life of the British aristocracy during the early 19th century.
