Title - Gone to Cliff

Artist - SIR ALFRED J. MUNNINGS

‘Gone to Cliff ‘ ranks as one of Munnings' finest and most atmospheric hunting scenes. He described the composition as 'a grey sky, a grey sea and grey granite rocks; a mounted figure holding a horse silhouetted against a white band of surf below; the whipper-in waiting whilst the huntsman goes down to the cliff for hounds which have followed the fox over the boulders to a sanctuary from where they will never get him out.
