Painting Description
"The Meet; Breaking Cover; Full Cry; And The Death" is a celebrated series of four paintings by the renowned 19th-century British artist John Frederick Herring Sr. Known for his exceptional skill in depicting equestrian subjects, Herring's work captures the dynamic and spirited essence of the traditional English fox hunt. Each painting in the series represents a different stage of the hunt, offering a vivid narrative that unfolds across the canvases.
John Frederick Herring Sr. (1795–1865) was one of the most prominent sporting and animal painters of his time. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, vibrant use of color, and the ability to convey movement and emotion. Herring's background as a coachman and his intimate knowledge of horses and rural life greatly influenced his artistic style and subject matter.
"The Meet" depicts the gathering of the hunters and their hounds at the beginning of the hunt. This scene is rich with social interaction and anticipation, showcasing the elegance and excitement of the participants. "Breaking Cover" illustrates the moment when the fox is flushed out of hiding, and the chase begins in earnest. The energy and urgency of the hunt are palpable in this composition. "Full Cry" captures the peak of the chase, with hounds and riders in full pursuit of the fox. The painting is a masterful portrayal of speed and determination. Finally, "The Death" concludes the series with the culmination of the hunt, as the exhausted fox is caught. This painting often evokes mixed emotions, reflecting both the triumph of the hunters and the somber end of the fox.
Herring's series not only showcases his technical prowess but also provides a window into the cultural and social aspects of 19th-century British country life. The paintings are celebrated for their historical significance and artistic merit, making them an important part of Herring's legacy and the broader canon of British sporting art.
