"A Poacher Caught Red-Handed" is a notable painting by the British artist Samuel Thomas Dadd, commonly known as S. T. Dadd. This artwork is a quintessential example of Victorian-era narrative painting, a genre that sought to tell a story through detailed and expressive visual representation. Dadd, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was renowned for his ability to capture dramatic scenes with a high degree of realism and emotional intensity.

The painting depicts a tense and dramatic moment in which a poacher is apprehended in the act of illegally hunting game. The scene is set in a dense, wooded area, which adds to the sense of secrecy and illicit activity. The poacher, caught in the beam of a lantern, is shown with a look of shock and fear, while the gamekeeper or law enforcement officer, who has discovered him, stands resolute and authoritative. The use of light and shadow in the painting is particularly effective in highlighting the central figures and heightening the drama of the moment.

Dadd's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the characters' clothing and the natural surroundings. The painting not only captures a specific incident but also reflects broader social issues of the time, such as the tension between rural law enforcement and those who sought to circumvent hunting regulations. This work is a fine example of how art can serve as a historical document, providing insight into the societal norms and conflicts of the period in which it was created.

"A Poacher Caught Red-Handed" is celebrated for its storytelling prowess and technical excellence. It remains an important piece within Dadd's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts for its vivid portrayal of a bygone era.
