The Hunted Stag is an 1833 oil painting by the British artist Edwin Landseer. It shows a stag hunted by hounds in a mountain stream. It is the first in a series of works by Landseer featuring stags at bay. It is also known by the alternative title Deer and Deer Hounds in a Mountain Torrent.[1]
The work was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1833 at Somerset House in London. It received less attention than Landseer's other submission A Jack in Office, but was praised in The Athenaeum for its "truth exalted by feeling and skill".[2] It was part of the Vernon Gift to the National Gallery in 1847. Today the painting is in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico.[3]
