Joseph Maiden (1813–1843) was an English painter of livestock and hunting scenes.
[1][2] He became a painter of new breeds of animals—particularly horses and dogs—and he also captured scenes from a series of hunts across Lancashire.
[1] Maiden made his debut in 1832 at the Royal Manchester Institution, where he showcased Horses in a Thunderstorm.
The following year, he showcased his best-known work, The Bury Hunt, which he completed in collaboration with his brother-in-law, Charles Agar.
[4] Following his death, a group of fellow local artists in Lancashire, as well as the president of the Royal Academy, came together to raise funds to support his widow.
