EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Hunting Scene: The Meet, ca. 1840" takes us back to the enchanting countryside of Belvoir in Leicestershire, England during the 19th century. Created by the talented Henry Thomas Alken, this oil painting captures a momentous gathering of hunters and their horses at the start of a thrilling fox hunt. The scene is set against a picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and a charming farmhouse. A group of elegantly dressed men on horseback can be seen arriving at an inn after their exhilarating ride through the rustic roads. Their vibrant red hunting jackets add a striking contrast to the natural colors of the landscape. Alken's attention to detail shines through as he portrays each individual with precision and character. The composition exudes energy and anticipation as both man and horse eagerly await the beginning of their adventure. This artwork not only showcases Alken's mastery in capturing rural life but also serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage in fox hunting - an activity deeply rooted in its cultural traditions. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art, this remarkable piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in history while marveling at Alken's artistic prowess. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transport us across time, allowing us to appreciate moments long gone yet forever preserved on canvas.
