Bachelor’s Hall; Breaking Cover

1835 - 1836

Francis Calcraft Turner captures the thrilling chaos of a 19th-century fox hunt in this lively scene. A rider on a magnificent white horse leaps dramatically over a wooden fence, top hat perched perfectly, while another gentleman on a black horse gallops alongside, waving his hat in excitement. Dressed in their signature red hunting coats, the riders and their hounds are caught in mid-action against a sweeping, cloudy English landscape. Turner was famous for painting these energetic sporting scenes, giving us a vivid glimpse into the fashionable pastimes of the British aristocracy during the 1830s.
