"Going to Cover," "Gone Away," "Full Cry," and "The Death" are a renowned set of four hunting scenes by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter and engraver primarily known for his works depicting sporting events, hunting scenes, and animal subjects. Created in the early 19th century, these works vividly capture the essence and excitement of the fox hunt, a subject that was both a popular sport and a significant aspect of rural British culture during Alken's lifetime.

Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851) was a prolific artist whose work provides a fascinating insight into the sporting life of the Georgian and early Victorian eras. His ability to depict movement, combined with a keen eye for detail and a sense of humor, has made his works enduringly popular. The set of scenes "Going to Cover," "Gone Away," "Full Cry," and "The Death" are considered among his finest, showcasing his mastery in illustrating the dynamism and drama of the hunt.

"Going to Cover" sets the scene, depicting the hunters and hounds setting out in anticipation of the hunt. The excitement and preparation are palpable, with each figure rendered in meticulous detail, from the riders and their mounts to the eager hounds.

"Gone Away" captures the moment the fox has been sighted, and the hunt is truly underway. The energy of the chase begins to build, with Alken skillfully conveying the urgency and movement as the participants gallop across the landscape.

"Full Cry" is the climax of the hunt, with the hounds in full pursuit of the fox. The composition is dynamic, filled with action and the chaos of the chase. Alken's use of color and line emphasizes the frenetic energy of the scene.

Finally, "The Death" presents the conclusion of the hunt, a moment that is both somber and celebratory. It reflects the complex emotions involved in the sport, capturing the respect for the animal alongside the triumph of the hunt.

Together, these four scenes offer a comprehensive and immersive portrayal of fox hunting, reflecting both the sport's allure and its controversy. Alken's work remains a valuable historical record of British sporting life, as well as a testament to his skill as an artist. Through "Going to Cover," "Gone Away," "Full Cry," and "The Death," viewers are offered a glimpse into the past, and the enduring legacy of hunting in British culture.
