Wolf and Fox Hunt

The Wolf and Fox Hunt is an oil-on-canvas painting by Peter Paul Rubens, executed c. 1616, now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It shows mounted and walking hunters chasing two wolves and three foxes. It marks the beginning of an intensive creative phase in which Rubens focused on the theme of hunting.

The painting was completed with the help of assistants, although the wolves were painted entirely by Rubens. By 67 the canvas had been trimmed at the top and left to fit into a client's home.
