EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting by Malcolm Greensmith captures the essence of a traditional fox hunt in the English countryside, as riders in their distinctive red jackets and tall boots set off on horseback, accompanied by their eager hounds. The scene unfolds along a winding country lane, with the pack of hounds in hot pursuit of their quarry through fields and over hedgerows. The riders, with their crops in hand, maintain a steady pace, their faces focused and determined as they follow the scent of the fox through the crisp autumn air. The historical significance of fox hunting as a rural sport and tradition runs deep in English culture, with its origins dating back to the Middle Ages. Fox hunting was once a popular pastime for the aristocracy, who would ride out in large groups with their hounds to chase and eventually kill the fox. While the practice remains controversial and divisive, this painting offers a glimpse into a bygone era, capturing the spirit of camaraderie, tradition, and the connection between man and nature that continues to draw people to the sport. Malcolm Greensmith's masterful use of color and brushwork brings this scene to life, with the rich reds of the riders' jackets contrasting against the greens of the fields and the browns of the horses and hounds. The painting invites us to step back in time and experience the thrill of the chase, the beauty of the countryside, and the enduring traditions of the English fox hunt.
