Refraction, the Magnificent Champion - A Glimpse into Horse Racing History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to a momentous day in horse racing history. The image showcases "Refraction" an exceptional racehorse who triumphed at The Oaks, one of England's most prestigious equestrian events. Captured from an engraving featured in The Illustrated London News on June 7th, 1845, this artwork by John Frederick Herring Snr allows us to relish the elegance and power of this magnificent creature. Owned by the esteemed Duke of Richmond and skillfully ridden by Bell, Refraction embodies grace and strength as she gallops across the racecourse. Every muscle is taut with determination as her hooves thunder against the ground. Jockey and steed are united in perfect harmony, their partnership evident through their synchronized movements. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched onto paper captures Refraction's essence flawlessly. From her sleek coat glistening under sunlight to the focused intensity emanating from her eyes, we witness a true champion in action. In this snapshot frozen in time, we glimpse not only a thrilling sporting event but also a testament to human-animal connection. It serves as a reminder that horse racing has long been intertwined with our cultural heritage—a celebration of speed, endurance, and sheer beauty. As we admire this historical treasure courtesy of Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Art Library's private collection, let us revel in
