EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent racehorse Basto, owned by The Duke of Devonshire, in all its glory. Painted by the talented artist John Wootton between 1708 and 1725, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 101.5x127.5 cm. Basto was no ordinary horse; he was a celebrated thoroughbred known for his exceptional racing abilities. Born in 1702 and sired by the renowned Byerley Turk, Basto left a lasting legacy in the world of horse racing. The equestrian portrait captures Basto's strength and elegance as he stands proudly adorned with a bridle. The painting transports us to an eventful racecourse in England where spectators eagerly await the start of another thrilling competition. In this artwork, Wootton skillfully portrays not only the majestic stallion but also his handler who exudes confidence and expertise. Every brushstroke brings to life the energy and excitement that permeate through these races. This painting is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, one of England's most prestigious estates. It serves as a testament to both English sporting history and artistic excellence. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the timeless allure of horse racing - a sport that has captivated audiences for centuries with its grace, speed, and sheer beauty.
