EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Breaking Cover, c1824" takes us back to the picturesque countryside of 19th century England. The image, originally captured by Henry Thomas Alken and featured in The Connoisseur Volume LXXXI, beautifully depicts a scene of leisurely pursuits amidst the wintry season. In this enchanting snapshot, we witness a group of men on horseback dressed in traditional hunting attire as they chase after their prey. With determination etched on their faces, these skilled riders navigate through dense trees and shrubs while accompanied by loyal foxhounds eagerly leading the pursuit. Their vibrant red hunting jackets stand out against the muted winter landscape, adding a splash of color to an otherwise monochromatic setting. As we delve deeper into this artwork's details, our eyes are drawn to the man at the forefront - his confident posture and commanding presence exude an air of authority. His trusty canine companion faithfully follows alongside him as he fearlessly leads the charge. The print transports us to a time when fox hunting was not only a popular sport but also an integral part of rural life in Britain. It captures both the thrill of the chase and the harmonious relationship between man and animal within this age-old tradition. With its impeccable composition and rich historical context, "Breaking Cover" serves as a testament to Henry Thomas Alken's artistic prowess and provides us with a window into 19th-century British culture that continues to captivate audiences today.
