"In Full Cry" is a painting by Samuel Henry Gordon Alken, an English artist known for his hunting, coaching, and sporting scenes. Born in 1810, Alken came from a family of sporting artists and became one of the prominent figures in English sporting art during the 19th century. "In Full Cry" is a quintessential example of his work, capturing the energy and movement of a traditional British fox hunt.

The painting depicts a moment of intense action as a pack of hounds is in pursuit of their quarry, with the huntsmen following on horseback. The term "in full cry" refers to the hounds vocalizing loudly and excitedly when they are hot on the scent of their prey, which is a central theme of the artwork. Alken's attention to detail in the portrayal of the horses and hounds, as well as his ability to convey the speed and dynamism of the hunt, are characteristic of his style.

"In Full Cry" is celebrated for its vivid representation of the British countryside and the sporting life of the era. Alken's work provides historical insight into the cultural practices of hunting and the social aspects surrounding it. The painting is often noted for its technical skill, composition, and the artist's understanding of equine and canine anatomy, which adds to the realism and immediacy of the scene.

As with many of Alken's works, "In Full Cry" appeals to enthusiasts of traditional sporting art and is considered an important piece within the genre. It is a valuable contribution to the visual documentation of 19th-century British sporting culture and continues to be appreciated by collectors and admirers of equestrian art.
