Shadrach, a chestnut hunter in a landscape, 1856 (oil on canvas)
3502564 Shadrach, a chestnut hunter in a landscape, 1856 (oil on canvas) by Webb, Byron (fl.1844-66); 71.1x91.5 cm; Private Collection; (add.info.: Shadrach was one of Lord Raglans horses in the Crimea and carried him during the battle of Alma, in October 1854. A witness to many of the battles and in close contact with Lord Raglan, A.W. Kinglake, described the horse in The Invasion of the Crimea: Its Origins and an Account of its Progress (Vol. II, p. 375), describing a scene at the Battle of Alma:
[Shadrach] The brown bay Lord Raglan rode was of course well broken to fire, and he had been quiet enough during the earlier part of the action; but now, suddenly, his blood rose, and for all the rest of the day he was so eager that he would hardly suffer his rider to use a field-glass from the saddle [Lord Raglan used a specially mounted telescope with a rifle stock attached, which he could use with one-handed]. The truth is, that in other times he had been ridden to hounds in England, and although he had long stood careless of all that was done by the Causeway batteries, yet when he and his rider and the horsemen around him cantered down into the valley, when they plunged into the river, when they briskly dashed through it, and began to gallop up the steep broken ground on the Russian side, the old hunter seemed to think of the chase and great days in the Gloucestershire country.
Shadrach died in 1857 and is buried in the grounds of Madresfield Court, Worcestershire, the seat of the Lygons, the Earls Beauchamp, who were linked to the family through the marriage of Richard, 2nd Baron Raglan, to Lady Georgina Lygon, daughter of 4th Earl Beauchamp.); Photo © Christies Images. © Christie's Images / Bridgeman Images

This print showcases "Shadrach, a chestnut hunter in a landscape" painted by Byron Webb in 1856. The oil on canvas artwork measures 71.1x91.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts Shadrach, one of Lord Raglan's horses during the Crimean War, specifically during the Battle of Alma in October 1854. A. W. Kinglake, who closely observed Lord Raglan and Shadrach during the battles, described an extraordinary scene where Shadrach's spirit ignited as they charged into battle. Lord Raglan used a specially mounted telescope with a rifle stock attached to it while riding Shadrach into battle. However, once they entered the valley and galloped through the river towards the steep broken ground on the Russian side, Shadrach's past experiences as a hunting horse seemed to resurface. Despite being indifferent to gunfire earlier that day, Shadrach became incredibly eager for action and barely allowed his rider to use the field-glass from his saddle-mounted telescope-rifle combination. Sadly, Shadrach passed away in 1857 but found eternal rest at Madresfield Court in Worcestershire – home of Richard Lygon, Earl Beauchamp – through marriage ties between Lord Raglan and Lady Georgina Lygon. This remarkable print not only captures Byron Webb's artistic talent but also immortalizes an exceptional warhorse whose bravery and spirited nature left an indelible mark on history.
