EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Peter Tillemans, dating back to 1724. Titled "Spruce and Bell" this painting is part of a pair that depicts the racehorses owned by the 4th Lord Byron, along with their dedicated grooms, in the picturesque grounds of Newstead Abbey. The artist's signature and date can be found on the lower left corner, proudly proclaiming his craftsmanship. The composition captures two majestic horses in all their glory, standing tall and proud. With meticulous attention to detail, Tillemans skillfully brings these magnificent creatures to life on canvas. The painting measures 51 x 64 cm and is an oil masterpiece that beautifully portrays the bond between man and animal. Nottingham serves as both the setting for this remarkable piece of art and its place of origin. The city's rich history intertwines with equestrian sports, making it a fitting backdrop for such a splendid depiction of horse racing. Newstead Abbey stands as an iconic landmark within Nottinghamshire's landscape—a testament to its grandeur. As we admire this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness Lord Byron's passion for sport at Newstead Abbey. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with horses—majestic creatures that have captivated human hearts throughout history—and invites us into a world where elegance meets athleticism in perfect harmony.
