Painting Description
"Full Cry" is a painting by Henry Thomas Alken, an English painter known for his hunting, coaching, and sporting scenes. Born on October 12, 1785, Alken was a prolific artist whose work captured the essence of British country life during the early 19th century. "Full Cry" is a quintessential example of Alken's focus on the energy and dynamism of the hunt, a popular pastime among the British gentry of the period.
The painting depicts a moment during a fox hunt, with hounds in pursuit of their quarry and the mounted hunters, dressed in traditional red coats, following close behind. The term "full cry" refers to the hounds giving voice together when they are in hot pursuit of a fox, and Alken's work vividly portrays this spirited chase. The composition is characterized by its sense of movement and the artist's attention to the details of the hunt, from the expressions of the hounds to the varied postures of the riders.
Alken's work, including "Full Cry," was influential in shaping the iconography of British sporting art, and his images have become synonymous with the depiction of the hunt. His paintings are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance, providing insight into the customs and leisure activities of the British upper classes during the Regency and Victorian eras.
"Full Cry" is part of a larger body of work by Alken that celebrates the tradition of fox hunting. His paintings are often sought after by collectors and are held in high regard by enthusiasts of equestrian and sporting art. They can be found in private collections as well as in museums that focus on British life, culture, and history.
