EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas painting titled "Drags of the Four-in-Hand Club passing Five Bells Tavern, New Cross" by Samuel Henry Alken takes us back to a vibrant scene in 1856. This masterpiece, measuring 40.4x60.8 cm, is proudly housed at The Berger Collection in the Denver Art Museum, USA. In this lively composition, we witness the grandeur and elegance of horse-drawn coaches as they race past the iconic Five Bells Tavern in New Cross. The artist skillfully captures every detail of this thrilling moment; from the spirited horses galloping with determination to Lord Lonsdale and the Duke of Sutherland commanding attention atop their respective coach. The painting not only showcases a remarkable display of transport but also provides a glimpse into an era when coaching was considered both a sport and a symbol of social status. It transports us to a time when public houses like Five Bells Tavern served as gathering spots for travelers and locals alike. Alken's meticulous brushstrokes bring life to each element within this artwork - from the majestic horses to the intricate details adorning each coach. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of our rich history and how transportation has evolved over time. This stunning print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Alken's talent while immersing ourselves in an enchanting moment frozen forever on canvas.
