"Fox Hunting: Unkenneling The Fox Hounds; Going To Cover; Diging Forthe Fox; And The Death Of The Fox" is a series of paintings by Thomas Burford, an 18th-century British artist known for his works depicting various aspects of rural life and sporting activities. The series captures the different stages of a traditional fox hunt, a subject that was popular in British art and culture during this period.

The paintings vividly illustrate the progression of the hunt, starting with "Unkenneling The Fox Hounds," where the dogs are released from their kennels in anticipation of the chase. "Going To Cover" depicts the hunters, horses, and hounds moving towards the area where the fox is believed to be hiding. "Diging Forthe Fox" shows the more controversial aspect of the hunt, where participants and dogs dig out the fox if it has gone to ground. Finally, "The Death Of The Fox" presents the culmination of the hunt, which traditionally ended with the killing of the fox.

Thomas Burford's work is significant as it provides a historical record of fox hunting practices in the 18th century, reflecting both the sport's popularity among the British gentry and the intricate social rituals associated with it. The series is also an example of the genre of sporting art, which celebrated and documented the leisure activities of the upper classes. While the paintings offer insight into the cultural history of the time, they also invite discussions on the ethical considerations of fox hunting, a practice that has since become highly controversial and subject to legal restrictions in the United Kingdom.

The artwork serves not only as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the dynamism and drama of the hunt but also as a window into the complex interplay between humans, animals, and the landscape in the context of traditional British field sports.
