EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and lively print titled "Between Heats [The Course], January 1,1798". Thomas Rowlandson captures the exhilarating atmosphere of a horse racing event in 18th century Britain. The scene is filled with animated people eagerly engaging in various forms of entertainment and gambling. Rowlandson's masterful use of color brings to life the racecourse, where horses thunder down the track amidst cheers from the crowd. The artist pays attention to every detail, from the jockeys skillfully guiding their mounts to the spectators anxiously watching as they place bets on their favorite contenders. Amidst all the excitement, one cannot miss Dennis O'Kelly, a prominent figure in British horse racing history. O'Kelly was known for his involvement in breeding and owning successful racehorses during this period. His presence adds an air of prestige to this bustling scene. Beyond horse racing itself, Rowlandson also includes a roulette wheel and sideshow attractions that further enhance the festive ambiance. This print serves as both a visual record of an important sporting event and a window into society's fascination with gambling and entertainment at that time. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this hand-colored aquatint showcases Rowlandson's exceptional talent for capturing movement and human interaction. It stands as a testament to his contribution to British art during the 18th century.
