Original Description
Richard Barrett Davis’s In Full Cry (1822) is a dynamic masterpiece capturing the thrilling chaos of an English fox hunt in full swing. The painting bursts with motion—hounds surging forward, horses mid-gallop, and riders leaning into the chase—all rendered with meticulous detail characteristic of British Sporting Art. Davis, a former student of animal painter Philip Reinagle, excelled in portraying equestrian subjects with anatomical precision and dramatic flair. Set against a misty rural landscape, the composition balances frenzy with artistry, where earthy tones punctuated by the scarlet coats of hunters create visual rhythm. As one of Davis’s most celebrated works, In Full Cry epitomizes early 19th-century aristocratic leisure culture while showcasing the technical prowess that cemented Sporting Art’s popularity during the Romantic era. Its historical significance lies in bridging documentary realism and romanticized action, influencing later animaliers like Sir Edwin Landseer.
For interiors, In Full Cry’s grandeur suits traditional or equestrian-themed spaces. A giltwood frame enhances its aristocratic charm in a study or library, while a matte black frame modernizes it for contemporary offices. Ideal above a fireplace or along a hallway, its horizontal composition (typical dimensions ~36x48 inches) demands eye-level hanging with adjacent wall space to avoid clutter. Pair with deep greens or oxblood leather furniture to echo the painting’s warm palette, or contrast with neutral linen sofas for balance. In minimalist settings, let it anchor the room as a standalone statement; in maximalist decor, layer with equine bronzes or vintage hunting prints for thematic cohesion. The scene’s energy makes it perfect for dynamic spaces like conference rooms, though its serene countryside backdrop ensures it won’t overwhelm quieter lounges. Lighting should be warm and angled to highlight the canvas’s textured brushwork.
