The Berkeley Hunt; The Death

1842

Francis Calcraft Turner captures the chaotic climax of a traditional English fox hunt in this 1842 masterpiece. Dressed in their signature red coats and top hats, the gentlemen of the Berkeley Hunt gather around as their eager pack of hounds swarms the foreground. The scene, titled 'The Death,' depicts the moment the hunt concludes, a popular subject in 19th-century sporting art that celebrated rural aristocratic life. Turner was known for his meticulous attention to the specific hounds and horses of famous packs, making this a historical record as much as a painting.
