George Henry Laporte was an English animal painter. He specialized in horses. His works depict scenes from hunting, racing and other sporting events, as well as animal still-lifes.
He was born in London; the son of watercolourist John Peter Laporte (1761-1839). George studied under painter Henry Bernard Chalon. He lived with his father until around 1827, exhibiting at the Royal Academy and elsewhere from 1818. Laporte worked in both oil and watercolour. In 1834 he became a member of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours. Two years later he was made animal painter to the Duke of Cumberland. Laporte contributed a total of 43 plates to the ‘Sporting Magazine’. He died at 13 Norfolk Square, Paddington, aged about 78, leaving a daughter, Georgina (1852-1884). His wife, Eliza, predeceased him.
His birthplace is sometimes given as Hanover. This likely involves some confusion resulting from his employment with the King of Hanover, who was a member of the British royal family, as there appears to be no evidence that his parents were ever there or that he was adopted.

- 'Attilla' A Chestnut Horse in a StableBy John Frederick Herring Sr.Located in St. Albans, GBCanvas Size: 28 x 36" (71 x 91cm) Outside Frame Size 36 x 44" (91 x 111cm) It is signed on the middle right on the wooden window. This is a stunning painting of a racehorse signed and dated J F Herring Sen 1842. The horse is named above the water trough as Attilla. As Herring was a renowned painter of racehorses it is likely that this was done for a wealthy patron who owned several. Although he painted many of the winners of the St. Ledger Cup Attilla was not one of these. Free carriage worldwide John Frederick HERRING Snr 1795 – 1865 A sporting painter, born in Surrey of American/Dutch extraction. At first he was a sign and coach painter. He then worked as a stable boy and coachman in Yorkshire until with the help of patrons he was able to study with Abraham Cooper RA, the only art education he appears to have had. He specialised in racing subjects and his few hunting scenes are rare. Herring painted the start of the 1844 Derby, which became known as ‘the dirtiest Derby in history’. He sometimes collaborated with his three sons, J.F.Jnr, Benjamin Jnr and Charles. He also collaborated with James Pollard on a number of racing scenes inc. ‘The Doncaster Gold Cup’, 1838, ‘The Emperor of Russia’s Cup at Ascot’ 1845 and ‘The Dead Heat for the Doncaster Great St. Ledger’ 1849 Herring painted 33 successive winners of the St. Ledger and not surprisingly lived a large part of his life in the Doncaster area before settling in Newmarket in 1830 and then in London in 1835. He suffered serious financial difficulties after his move to London which, thanks to a great friend and patron William Taylor Copeland (1797 – 1868) head of the Spode Porcelain factory at Stoke on Trent, was resolved. He painted many pictures of the Copeland family, some of which were adapted and used as designs on the Spode china...Category

Often bathed in a flood of golden light, these landscapes usually feature water and cattle or sheep on grassy banks; sometimes a solitary figure is seen the distance. Breanski belonged to the real stamp of those landscape painters who nimbly seized moments of the day. He had a great passion for the Highlands and perhaps more than any other, caught the atmospheric influences of the undulating landscape. Born in Greenwich...Category
