Going the Pace
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating aquatint print by Charles Bentley, published in 1830, showcasing the excitement and thrill of horse racing in the picturesque English countryside. The image portrays a group of riders and their horses in full stride during The Grand Steeplechase over Leicestershire, a renowned steeplechase race held in England during the 19th century. Charles Bentley masterfully captures the raw energy and determination of the riders and their horses as they navigate the challenging terrain. The intricate detail in the etching brings each figure to life, from the focused expression of the leading rider, who is clearly "going the pace," to the determined gaze of the jockeys urging their mounts forward. The horses, too, are depicted with remarkable detail, their muscles taut and powerful as they leap over obstacles. The print offers a glimpse into the heritage of horse racing and the rural traditions of England during the 19th century. The rolling hills and verdant countryside serve as the perfect backdrop to the action, adding to the sense of excitement and adventure. The aquatint technique used by Bentley allows for a rich, tonal depth, adding depth and texture to the image. This beautiful work of art, now held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse racing and the beauty of the English countryside. It invites us to imagine ourselves in the midst of the action, experiencing the thrill of the race and the camaraderie of the riders and their horses. Whether you're a fan of horse racing, art, or history, "Going the Pace" is a must-see addition to any collection.
