EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases the renowned artwork "Eclipse" by George Stubbs, a prominent 18th-century British artist. The painting depicts Eclipse, an exceptional and undefeated thoroughbred racehorse of his time. With its origins dating back to 1764-1789, Eclipse's remarkable racing career left an indelible mark on British horse racing history. The image is sourced from the esteemed publication "Connoisseur Extra No. 5 - Old Sporting Prints" by Ralph Nevill, featured in The Connoisseur Magazine of London in 1908. This vintage piece offers a glimpse into the rustic charm of rural life during the eighteenth century in Britain. In this picturesque scene, Eclipse stands proudly amidst nature's beauty with a magnificent tree serving as his backdrop. Three individuals can be seen nearby; one man appears to be saddling up while two others observe attentively. Their presence adds depth and context to this timeless portrayal of equestrian excellence. The warm brown hues and meticulous attention to detail bring out the essence of Stubbs' artistic prowess, capturing both the power and grace that defined Eclipse as a legendary racehorse. As we admire this stunning print from The Print Collector collection curated by Ralph Nevill himself, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in sporting history—an era where man and animal united for thrilling races that captivated audiences across generations.
