"The Slave Hunter" (in Portuguese: "Caçador de Escravos") is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Baptiste Debret, who was an influential artist in the early 19th century. Debret spent a significant period of his life in Brazil, where he documented the lives and customs of its inhabitants, including the harsh realities of slavery. Created during his Brazilian period, "The Slave Hunter" is part of Debret's series of works that depict the various aspects of slavery in Brazil.

The painting is a poignant portrayal of the brutal practice of hunting down escaped slaves. It captures the tension and violence of the chase, as well as the stark power dynamics between the enslaved individuals and the hunters. Debret's work is characterized by its detailed observation and often vivid, expressive use of color, which brings a sense of immediacy and emotional impact to the scenes he depicts.

As part of Debret's larger body of work, "The Slave Hunter" contributes to the historical understanding of Brazilian society during the colonial period, particularly the treatment of African slaves. His paintings are considered an important visual record of this era, offering insights into the cultural and social history of Brazil. Debret's art is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also for its documentary value, as it provides a European perspective on the colonial experience and the institution of slavery in the New World.

"The Slave Hunter" is frequently studied in the context of colonial art and is often included in discussions about the representation of slavery in visual culture. It remains a powerful reminder of the inhumanity of slavery and the complex legacy of colonialism in Latin America. The work is housed in a prominent museum collection, ensuring its preservation and continued accessibility for public viewing and scholarly examination.
