About the piece

Painted around 1835 by Francis Calcraft Turner, this oil on canvas captures the peak of the British sporting art tradition. The work depicts the 'death' in a fox hunt, where the vibrant 'pinks' of the hunters' coats provide a striking focal point against the muted, atmospheric tones of the English countryside. The detailed rendering of the horses and the energetic pack of hounds creates a sense of narrative weight and historical dignity.
