EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures the essence of Tregonwell Frampton, known as the "Father of the Turf" in all his glory. Painted by John Wootton in 1728, this oil on panel masterpiece now resides at the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket, Suffolk, UK. Tregonwell Frampton was a man of great influence and prestige during his time. As depicted in the painting, he served as the Keeper of Running Horses at Newmarket to four monarchs - William III, Queen Anne, George I & II. His expertise and dedication to horse racing were unparalleled. In this portrait, Frampton stands tall with an air of confidence and authority. The roundel featuring his racehorse Dragon is prominently displayed beside him. This symbolizes not only his success but also his deep connection to these magnificent creatures that brought him fame and fortune. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from Frampton's regal attire to the mischievous glint in his eye. A greyhound faithfully stands by his side while a cockerel perches nearby; both representing elements associated with horse racing during that era. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Tregonwell Frampton's legacy and contribution to the world of horse racing. It immortalizes a man who dedicated himself wholeheartedly to this noble sport and left an indelible mark on its history for generations to come.
