The Finish, c. 1840
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Henry Thomas Alken that captures the exhilaration and triumph of a successful hunt in the English countryside. Measuring 30.5x40.6 cm, this artwork showcases Alken's mastery in depicting both human and animal subjects. In this scene, we witness a group of huntsmen on horseback celebrating their victory over a fox as they gather around its lifeless body. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and joy as the riders shout out in triumph while saluting each other for their skillful pursuit. Alken's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the horses, hounds, and landscape surrounding them. The vibrant colors bring life to the lush rural setting, immersing us into this thrilling moment. The artist also includes elements of camaraderie and leisure within the composition; some hunters are seen raising glasses to toast their success while others engage in conversation or simply enjoy being part of this sporting event. "The Finish" not only celebrates hunting as a popular sport during that era but also serves as a testament to Alken's ability to capture movement, emotion, and atmosphere through his brushstrokes. This particular print from Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Alken's talent firsthand while adding an exquisite touch of history and elegance to any space it graces.
