The Grand National Steeplechase - Valentines Jump
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the thrilling atmosphere of a historic horse race. Painted by John Sanderson Wells in the early 20th century, this oil on canvas artwork measures 30.9x50.8 cm and is part of a private collection. The painting depicts a momentous scene at the racecourse, with a large group of spectators eagerly watching as horses compete over an imposing fence. The composition showcases Wells' mastery in capturing movement and energy, as well as his attention to detail in portraying both human and equine subjects. The vibrant colors and natural light convey the excitement of the event, while Victorian-era figures add a touch of historical charm. Women dressed in elegant attire stand alongside men, creating a diverse crowd united by their love for horse racing. Wells' skillful brushwork brings to life every element of this lively scene – from the meticulously rendered horses to the lush greenery surrounding them. The image exudes an air of competition and camaraderie that transcends time. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Wells' artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into an era when horse racing was not just a sport but also an integral part of social gatherings. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change, our fascination with equestrian events remains timeless.
