Original Description
John Nost Sartorius’ "Setting Out; Full Cry; Looking For The Scent" is a vibrant and dynamic portrayal of an 18th-century English foxhunt, capturing the exhilarating energy of the chase with remarkable precision. Painted in the late 1700s, the work exemplifies Sartorius’ mastery of sporting art—a genre that flourished among British aristocracy, celebrating equestrian pursuits and rural life. The composition bursts with movement: horses leap forward, hounds surge eagerly, and riders clad in scarlet coats cut a striking contrast against the muted greens of the countryside. Sartorius’ meticulous attention to detail—from the musculature of the animals to the play of light on fabric—reflects his deep understanding of both anatomy and landscape. As part of the Sartorius family dynasty of sporting artists, John Nost helped define the visual language of British hunting scenes, making this painting not only a thrilling visual experience but also a historically significant piece within the tradition of sporting art.
For a refined yet spirited interior, this painting would elevate a study, library, or country-style living room with its timeless British charm. Its ideal setting would be a space with classic wood paneling or neutral-toned walls, allowing the rich reds and earthy greens to stand out. A giltwood frame would enhance its aristocratic heritage, while pairing it with leather furniture or antique hunting accessories (such as vintage stirrups or foxhunting prints) would create a cohesive theme. The energy of the scene suits larger rooms—consider a focal position above a fireplace or along a grand hallway—where its mid-to-large scale (typical of sporting art) can command attention. For a modern twist, balance the traditional subject with minimalist furnishings, letting the painting’s vivid storytelling become the room’s captivating centerpiece.
