Running out of the Course, January 1,1799 - A Thrilling Horse Race Unleashed
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of horse racing in 18th century Britain. The scene is set on a racecourse bustling with spectators eagerly anticipating the outcome of an intense competition. Rowlandson's intricate hand-colored aquatint brings to life the danger and excitement that permeate every inch of this artwork. As horses thunder down the track, jockeys lean forward in their saddles, urging their steeds towards victory. The vibrant colors add depth and intensity to each stroke, capturing both the physical prowess of these magnificent animals and the determination etched on their riders' faces. Amidst this whirlwind of motion and energy stands a lone female spectator - a rarity for her time. Her presence adds an intriguing layer to Rowlandson's narrative as she defies societal norms by immersing herself in this traditionally male-dominated sport. The artist masterfully captures a moment frozen in time - a runaway horse charging ahead with reckless abandon while other racers struggle to maintain control. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst perilous circumstances, human beings find solace and thrill in sportsmanship. As we gaze upon "Running out of the Course" we are transported into an era where adrenaline-pumping races were not just about winning but also about pushing boundaries and embracing risk-taking adventures.
