The Stag Hunt is a 1836 oil by Francis Danby, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
In the painting, a group of men are shown hunting stags in a forest, with one man on horseback and others on foot. The scene is set in a dense, green forest with tall trees and underbrush. The men are dressed in traditional hunting attire, with one man wearing a bright red jacket that stands out against the muted tones of the forest. The stags are depicted in various stages of flight, with some running and others leaping through the underbrush. The painting is an example of the Romantic movement, which emphasized emotion and the beauty of nature. To learn more about this style, explore the works of artist Francis Danby.
