EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century painting, titled "Sir Edmund Antrobus and the Old Surrey Fox Hounds at the Foot of Addington Hills," is a captivating depiction of the traditional English sport of fox hunting. Painted by renowned British artist William Barraud around the 1830s, the image captures the essence of the rural countryside and the excitement of the chase. At the center of the painting is Sir Edmund Antrobus, an esteemed figure dressed in a red hunting jacket, mounted on a powerful horse. He gazes intently towards the horizon, where a fox is seen darting away through the undergrowth. The hounds, also in red jackets, are in hot pursuit, their ears pricked and eyes focused on their quarry. The horses, with their manes and tails flowing in the wind, add to the sense of motion and energy in the scene. The painting's setting, at the foot of Addington Hills, further emphasizes the rugged beauty of the English countryside. The rolling hills, dotted with trees and shrubs, provide a picturesque backdrop to the action unfolding in the foreground. William Barraud was a master of capturing the spirit of sport and the natural world in his paintings. This work, in particular, is a testament to his skill and his ability to transport viewers to another time and place. The Old Surrey Fox Hounds at the Foot of Addington Hills is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the traditions and customs of 19th century England.
