EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint print, titled "Fox Hunting: Full Cry, 1828" transports us back to the thrilling world of English countryside pursuits in the early 19th century. Created by Charles Bentley after Henry Thomas Alken, this artwork measures 26.7x42.2 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. The scene depicted showcases a heart-pounding moment during a fox hunt, where hunters are fully immersed in their pursuit. The hounds can be seen eagerly leading the way through a picturesque stream while galloping horses and determined riders follow closely behind. The intensity of the chase is palpable as each hunter wields their crop with precision and dons traditional tophats. Through masterful use of color and detail, Bentley brings this exhilarating sport to life on paper. Every brushstroke captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of fox hunting—a beloved tradition deeply rooted in English culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported into an era where man and beast unite in pursuit of adventure amidst sprawling country landscapes. It serves as a testament to our enduring connection with nature and our relentless desire for excitement that has transcended time.
