EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "A Steeplechase" we are transported to the thrilling world of horse racing in the 19th century. Painted by John Frederick Herring Jnr, a renowned English artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 40.6x59 cm and is now part of a private collection held by The British Sporting Art Trust. The scene depicted showcases the intense action and excitement of a steeplechase race. Two powerful horses with skilled jockeys atop them soar over double rails, defying gravity as they leap through the air. The energy and determination emanating from both riders and steeds are palpable. However, amidst all the adrenaline-fueled competition, danger lurks just around the corner. In an unfortunate turn of events captured brilliantly by Herring Jnr's brushstrokes, one horse loses its footing mid-jump and crashes into a pailing fence below. This dramatic moment serves as a reminder of both the risks involved in this sport and the resilience required to participate in it. Through his meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color and light, Herring Jnr brings this exhilarating scene to life before our eyes. Every stroke contributes to creating an atmosphere filled with motion, intensity, and raw emotion. This remarkable painting not only captures a specific sporting event but also immortalizes an era when steeplechase races were at their peak popularity in England. It stands as a testament to Herring J
