This is a reproduction of Winslow Homer's masterpiece "The Fox Hunt" of 1893. It shows a flock of crows circling upon a fox who has been slowed down by deep snows. This work is among the "Darwinian" paintings in which the artist attempts to portray the struggel implied within the concept of the survival of the fitest. It was immediately purchased by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. At 68.5 inches wide it is Homer's largest painting and this was his first work to enter a major museum collection. It began the process by which the artist finally reached financial stability within seven years, at the age of sixty-four. This painting is still in the possession of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.If you are interested in commissioning an oil painting on canvas of this art print, please send me an email attroy@trycap.com.
