EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Spruce and Bell, 1724" by Peter Tillemans showcases a stunning oil on canvas masterpiece. The painting measures 53x67 cm and is housed in the Nottingham City Museums and Galleries at Newstead Abbey. In the foreground, we are greeted by a magnificent chestnut horse with its rider elegantly mounted on horseback. The rider dons a vibrant red jacket, adding a pop of color to the scene. A loyal hound accompanies them as they embark on an adventurous hunt through the sprawling grounds. As our gaze extends beyond the riders, we are met with the breathtaking sight of Newstead Abbey standing proudly in the background. This grand mansion was once an Augustinian priory before being transformed into a domestic home after the Dissolution of Monasteries. It holds historical significance as it served as Lord Byron's ancestral home, inspiring his romantic poetry. The artist skillfully captures not only the beauty of nature but also architectural details such as arches and columns that adorn this stately country house. The painting exudes an air of sophistication and elegance while depicting elements of English countryside life during that era. Tillemans' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from capturing each strand of hair on Spruce's mane to portraying intricate patterns on clothing worn by both humans and animals alike. This remarkable piece truly celebrates sportswomen and sportsmen engaging in their beloved pastime amidst picturesque surroundings.
