The Hunting of Chevy Chase 1826

Edwin Henry Landseer's "The Hunting of Chevy Chase" depicts the chaotic conclusion of a medieval hunting scene. Painted in 1826, the artwork shows a group of hunters on horseback pursuing a deer, which has been brought down by hounds. The scene is full of movement and action, with the hunters, hounds, and deer all caught in a struggle for survival. The artist's focus on detail, particularly in the depiction of the animals, is characteristic of his work. This iconic painting of the English Romantic era is currently on display at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
