EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Meeting at Clifton and Rawcliffe Ings, York, September 1709" transports us back to a bygone era of horse racing in England. Created by the talented artist James Ross during his active years between 1729 and 1765, this artwork measures 60x72 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket, Suffolk. The scene depicted showcases a thrilling race taking place on the vast expanse of Clifton and Rawcliffe Ings. The composition captures the intense energy and excitement as jockeys skillfully guide their magnificent racehorses towards victory. A horse-drawn carriage can be seen nearby, adding an element of elegance to the event. Intriguingly, a trophy post stands prominently in the foreground, symbolizing both competition and achievement. This detail emphasizes the significance of this historic race day for all involved. Ross's masterful brushwork brings life to every figure present within this painting. From determined jockeys urging their horses forward to spectators eagerly watching from afar, each individual seems frozen in time yet brimming with anticipation. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with our cultural history. Through paintings like these, we gain insight into past traditions that have shaped our present-day horseracing industry while appreciating Ross's artistic prowess that immortalizes such moments forevermore.
