EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La rencontre des haut coursier (The high mettled racer)" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to 18th century England, offering a glimpse into the satirical and vibrant world of British society. The artwork, created in 1789 using etching and watercolor techniques, is housed in the prestigious Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. In this caricature, Rowlandson skillfully portrays a scene from an English horse race. A group of elegantly dressed men and women gather around as they witness the thrilling encounter between two high-spirited racers. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his depiction of various elements such as hunting horns, musical instruments, dogs, and even a walking stick. Rowlandson's work not only captures the excitement of horse racing but also reflects the leisurely pursuits enjoyed by aristocrats during their spare time. Through his use of vivid colors and expressive lines, he brings life to this humorous portrayal of social gatherings that were prevalent in 18th-century Britain. As we admire this remarkable piece from afar, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to different eras while providing insight into historical events and cultural practices. This print stands as a testament to Rowlandson's talent for combining satire with artistic finesse.
