EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Lexington" transports us back to the vibrant era of 19th century America. Created by the talented artist Thomas J. Scott, this oil painting on canvas mounted on fiberboard showcases his exceptional skill in capturing both the essence and beauty of a magnificent creature. In this artwork, we are introduced to a regal racehorse named Lexington. With its sleek coat and powerful physique, it exudes an air of strength and grace that is truly awe-inspiring. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the horse's muscular form and elegant features. The setting adds another layer of interest to this piece. Positioned near a rustic drinking trough in the countryside, Lexington stands as a symbol not only of American heritage but also represents scientific institutions dedicated to equine research and education during that time. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from our vantage point in modern times, we can't help but appreciate how art has preserved moments like these for generations to come. This particular print now finds its home within the prestigious Smithsonian American Art Museum, where it continues to captivate visitors with its timeless appeal. Thomas J. Scott's "Portrait of Lexington" serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance – reminding us all of the enduring power that art holds in preserving our shared cultural heritage.
