Gone to Ground is a notable work by the English artist Samuel Howitt, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Howitt, renowned for his expertise in depicting animals and rural scenes, created this piece as part of his broader oeuvre that captures the essence of British countryside life. His works are often celebrated for their dynamic compositions and meticulous attention to detail, which vividly bring to life the subjects he portrays.

In Gone to Ground, Howitt illustrates a dramatic moment in a hunting scene, a theme that was particularly popular in British art of the period. The title itself refers to the moment when the hunted animal, typically a fox, seeks refuge in its burrow or den, effectively evading the hunters and their hounds. This scene is emblematic of the tension and excitement inherent in the sport of fox hunting, a pastime that was both a social activity and a subject of artistic fascination during Howitt's time.

Howitt's technique in Gone to Ground showcases his skill in using both watercolor and engraving, mediums in which he excelled. His ability to capture movement and emotion through his brushstrokes and lines is evident in the frantic energy of the hounds and the palpable tension of the chase. The composition is carefully balanced, with a keen eye for the interplay of light and shadow, which adds depth and realism to the scene.

Samuel Howitt's contributions to the genre of sporting art have cemented his place in the history of British art. His works, including Gone to Ground, continue to be appreciated for their artistic merit and their ability to transport viewers to the bucolic landscapes and lively pursuits of a bygone era.
