Michael Lyne’s 'Mendip Hunt 'captures the vitality and tradition of the English countryside with a keen eye for movement and atmosphere. The painting depicts a fox hunt at rest across the rolling hills of the Mendip region in Somerset, a landscape known for its sweeping pastures, hedgerows, and stone walls. Lyne’s mastery lies in his ability to balance the grandeur of the countryside with the energy of the hunt itself.
At the forefront, the riders in their red hunting coats and black helmets are poised on powerful horses, their forms brimming with controlled urgency.. Lyne conveys a feeling of immediacy through the fluid brushwork, which brings the motion of both horses and hounds to life.
The background of the Mendip landscape provides a calm contrast, its muted greens and soft skies setting a pastoral stage for the dramatic action in the foreground. Together, the composition embodies both tradition and vitality—celebrating not just the sport of fox hunting, but also the harmony between rider, animal, and land. Mendip Hunt is as much about place as it is about pursuit.
Michael Lyne was born in Upton Bishop in Herefordshire and studied at the Cheltenham School of Art. A painter of mainly sporting equestrian subjects and hunting scenes he initially worked in watercolour. Between the late 1940s and 1970’s he began to favour oils, producing hunting scenes in rich colours, culminating in a notable series on the Grand National.
