The Berkeley Hunt： 1842- The Meet

1842

Imagine the ultimate VIP gathering of 1842, but instead of a red carpet, it's a rolling field in the English countryside. Francis Calcraft Turner paints 'The Meet,' the moment a fox hunt begins, with a central figure in a bright red coat pointing the way forward. Below him, a chaotic pack of hounds scrambles over each other, eager to chase, while the riders in their tall top hats look on with aristocratic patience. It’s a classic example of British sporting art, designed to celebrate the wealth, land, and leisure of the Victorian upper class.
