EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph transports us back to the vibrant world of horse racing in 19th century Copenhagen. The print, titled "Copenhagen, from Celebrated Horses" is part of a set of fourteen racing prints published by artist James Ward between 1823 and 1824. In this particular image, we are introduced to an old yet majestic horse with a tousled mane. Its weathered features tell tales of countless races won and lost, making it a true equestrian portrait that captures the essence of its time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he masterfully portrays the strength and gracefulness of this magnificent creature. The long mane flows freely in the wind, adding an element of movement to the composition. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the thundering hooves on the racetrack and feel the excitement that filled those historic moments. It serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with horses but also our enduring connection to their noble spirit. Preserved within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. Through its timeless beauty, it invites us into a bygone era where horses reigned supreme on race days – forever capturing our imagination through artistry and skillful storytelling.
