Original Description
John Emms’ Before The Hunt; After The Hunt is a masterful pair of paintings that vividly captures the spirit of 19th-century English sporting art. Set against lush countryside backdrops, these works showcase Emms’ keen attention to detail and his ability to breathe life into canine and equine subjects. The first painting, Before The Hunt, exudes anticipation, with hounds and hunters poised energetically at dawn, while After The Hunt depicts a tranquil scene of exhaustion and camaraderie as the day winds down. Emms, renowned for his realistic yet dynamic style, was a prominent figure in Victorian sporting art, influenced by his mentorship under Sir Edwin Landseer. These paintings not only reflect the cultural importance of foxhunting in British aristocracy but also demonstrate Emms’ skill in balancing narrative and technical precision, securing his place among England’s finest animalier painters.
For interior styling, the pair’s classic charm makes them ideal for traditional or country-inspired spaces. Consider hanging them in a study, library, or formal dining room to enhance an elegant, heritage-rich ambiance. The warm earthy tones (deep browns, rich greens, and muted golds) pair beautifully with dark wood furniture and leather upholstery. If opting for an office, position them in a reception area or executive suite to convey prestige and timelessness. Since the original works are large-scale (typical of Emms’ hunt scenes), choose high-quality reproductions proportionate to your wall space—either as a striking focal point above a fireplace or symmetrically flanking a doorway. Complement the art with brass or wrought-iron accents and textiles in plaid or tweed to harmonize with its rustic yet refined aesthetic.
