hunting scenes
Pursuit artwork subjects
Hunting scenes are artistic depictions of the hunt—paintings, tapestries, or decorative motifs showing hunters, hounds, horses, and prey in pursuit or at the kill.
The subject was especially popular in European aristocratic art, adorning manor walls and royal collections: The dining room featured elaborate hunting scenes.
The term appears in art history and antique descriptions.
