It is perhaps the best-known painting in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England.

[1] The painting is an early example of the effective use of perspective in Renaissance art, with the hunt participants, including people, horses, dogs and deer, disappearing into the dark forest in the distance.

[2] The painting is featured in the "Point of Vanishing" episode of the British TV series Lewis.

John Fowles mentions the painting twice, in The Ebony Tower and The Collector: "...the design hits you the moment you see it.

Brian Catling also mentions the painting in his 2017 novel The Erstwhile, describing a "hunt where men ran into darkness, sending dogs and spears darting lie violets into the vanishing point of flickering trees."
