EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning artwork titled "Bees Wing" by Harry Hall, a renowned artist from the 19th century. Painted in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 63.5x76.2 cm and is currently housed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The subject of this painting is Bees Wing, an illustrious racemare who achieved great fame during her time. In 1842, she triumphed in the prestigious 2-mile Newcastle Cup with a remarkable four-length lead and followed it up with another impressive victory in the Doncaster Cup by five lengths. Not only was Bees Wing an exceptional racehorse herself, but many of her offspring also went on to become celebrated champions. Harry Hall's exquisite portrayal captures Bees Wing's majestic presence as she stands alongside her jockey in full racing attire. The Victorian-era ambiance adds a touch of nostalgia to this equestrian scene that epitomizes the thrill and grace of horse racing. This print allows art enthusiasts and admirers of equine history to appreciate both the artistic talent behind Hall's brushstrokes and the legacy left behind by Bees Wing as one of horseracing's most revered figures. With its rich historical significance and timeless beauty, this artwork continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation.
