About the piece

Painted in 1842 by Francis Calcraft Turner, this oil on canvas captures the 'The Death'—the final moments of a hunt with the Berkeley Hunt. The work is a masterclass in the English sporting tradition, depicting a detailed assembly of hunters in scarlet coats, their horses, and a spirited pack of foxhounds against the warm glow of a late afternoon sky.
