EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of elegance and power in "The Earl of Godolphins Scham with an Arab up" by Francis Calcraft Turner. Painted in 1845, this oil on canvas masterpiece depicts a posthumous portrait of Scham, a legendary Arabian stallion foaled in 1724. Measuring at 43.2x53.3 cm, this painting showcases the bond between man and horse as an Arab rider proudly sits atop Scham's majestic back. The lush countryside serves as a breathtaking backdrop to their partnership, highlighting the beauty of nature intertwined with human achievement. Scham holds great significance as one of three progenitors responsible for siring over 100,000 thoroughbred foals annually worldwide. This makes him not only celebrated within racing circles but also an influential figure in the world of equestrian breeding. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate c18th dress worn by the male rider to the lifelike portrayal of Scham's muscular physique. The artist masterfully captures both grace and strength through his use of color and composition. Displayed here is a print from Fine Art Finder's private collection that allows viewers to appreciate Turner's skillful rendering without commercial intent or mention. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time – whether they be historical events or beloved animals like Scham who have left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness.
