EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eccles Wakes: Racing For The Smock, 1808" by Joseph Parry takes us back to a vibrant village scene in 19th century Britain. The painting, rendered with oil on canvas, beautifully captures the essence of an annual fair known as Eccles Wakes. In this lively depiction, we are transported to a bustling racecourse where the main attraction is the thrilling contest for the coveted smock. Donkeys and their riders eagerly compete against each other amidst a cheering crowd. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as spectators anxiously watch every move made by these determined jockeys. The artist's attention to detail shines through in his portrayal of the landscape surrounding the racecourse. We can almost feel ourselves immersed in this picturesque setting, surrounded by rolling hills and quaint cottages that add charm to the scene. "Eccles Wakes: Racing For The Smock" not only showcases British culture but also offers a glimpse into European village life during this era. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images, we can now appreciate this remarkable artwork from Manchester Art Gallery in all its glory.
