EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white mezzotint print, titled "Mambrino" transports us back to the 18th century. Created by Charles Howard Hodges in 1788, this exquisite piece is a reproduction of George Stubbs' original artwork. The print measures 36.8x46.7 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection. In this portrait, we are introduced to Mambrino, a magnificent grey racehorse that exudes power and elegance. With every stroke of Hodges' skilled hand, Mambrino's muscular form comes to life on the paper. His noble head held high, his eyes filled with determination; he embodies the spirit of a true thoroughbred. The attention to detail in this mezzotint is truly remarkable; each strand of Mambrino's mane seems tangible while his coat shimmers under an invisible light source. This work captures not only the physical beauty but also the essence of this exceptional breed. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal, we can't help but be transported into a world where grace meets strength—a world where horses like Mambrino reign supreme on racetracks across England. This historic masterpiece from www. bridgemanart. com serves as a testament to both artistic skill and equine excellence—an enduring tribute to one extraordinary horse that has left an indelible mark on history through its speed and prowess on racing grounds around Britain.
