Original Description
The Finish by John Emms captures the exhilarating final moments of a fox hunt with remarkable dynamism and British sporting tradition. Painted in the late 19th century during the golden age of equestrian art, Emms' masterpiece showcases his signature loose brushwork and keen understanding of equine anatomy. The composition thrums with energy as hounds surge toward their quarry beneath stormy skies, their muscular forms rendered with both accuracy and artistic flair. As one of England's foremost sporting artists, Emms elevated hunt scenes from mere documentation to dramatic narratives filled with movement and atmosphere. This work exemplifies Victorian Britain's fascination with country pursuits while demonstrating the technical mastery that placed Emms alongside contemporaries like Sir Alfred Munnings in the canon of important equestrian painters. The subtle play of light on wet fur and the careful attention to canine expressions reveal why his works remain highly prized by collectors today.
For interior spaces, The Finish makes a sophisticated statement piece that complements both traditional and contemporary eclectic décors. In a study or gentlemen's club setting, pair the painting with rich leather furnishings and dark wood paneling to enhance its heritage appeal. The work's earth-toned palette of russet browns and slate grays effortlessly coordinates with neutral walls or autumnal color schemes, while its dramatic sky suggests interesting textural contrasts with velvet or tweed upholstery. For offices, position the painting where its dynamic composition can be appreciated at moderate viewing distances - ideally above a fireplace or as part of a salon-style arrangement with other sporting prints. Choose a frame that echoes the painting's period without overpowering it; a simple gilt or walnut molding maintains authenticity. At approximately 24x36 inches (typical for Emms' hunt scenes), the scale works well above substantial furniture pieces without dominating smaller rooms.
