"After the Hunt" (1885) is a celebrated still-life painting by the Irish-American artist William Michael Harnett, renowned for his trompe-l'œil renderings that deceive the eye and showcase his meticulous attention to detail. This work is one of Harnett's most famous paintings and is often considered a masterpiece of the trompe-l'œil genre. The painting depicts a variety of hunting paraphernalia, including a dead hare, a hunting horn, a powder flask, and a rifle, all arranged against a wooden door backdrop, creating an illusion of three-dimensional reality on a two-dimensional surface.

The painting's composition is a testament to Harnett's skill in capturing textures and materials with striking realism, from the soft fur of the hare to the gleaming metal and wood of the hunting equipment. "After the Hunt" is emblematic of Harnett's work during the 1880s, a period in which he produced a series of still lifes that featured themes of hunting and masculinity, reflecting the leisure pursuits of the era's affluent classes.

Harnett's work is often associated with the American still-life tradition, and "After the Hunt" is a prime example of his contribution to this genre. The painting not only showcases his technical prowess but also invites viewers to consider themes of illusion, reality, and the role of art in replicating life. "After the Hunt" is housed in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic complexity and visual intrigue.

Through "After the Hunt" and similar works, Harnett played a significant role in the development of still-life painting in the United States, influencing subsequent generations of artists who sought to emulate his skillful illusionism and explore the boundaries between painted image and tangible object.
