About the Item

George Wright (1860–1944) was a British painter renowned for his equestrian art, particularly hunting and coaching scenes. Born in Leeds, England, he was the eldest of seven children in a family where five siblings pursued careers in art. ​ Wright's early works, often painted "en grisaille," suggest involvement in illustration. He collaborated with his brother Gilbert on sporting and coaching scenes for calendars. Throughout his career, Wright exhibited at prestigious venues, including six times at the Walker Gallery and thirty-three times at the Royal Academy. ​ His paintings, such as "On the Scent" and "Spring Fever," showcase his mastery in capturing the dynamism of equestrian activities. Wright's work is characterized by strong, well-finished depictions of hunting and coaching scenes, reflecting his deep understanding of equestrian subjects. ​ In 1901, he relocated to Rugby, later moving to Oxford in 1908, and finally to Richmond, Surrey, by 1929. He spent his later years in Seaford, Sussex, where he passed away in 1944. ​ Sources

Bay race horse in a stable, William Osborne RHA, Irish Artist, 1823 - 1901
By William Osborne
Located in GB
This painting by William Osborne, an Irish artist from the 19th century, features a bay racehorse in a stable, captured in rich oil on canvas. The scene evokes a sense of realism and attention to detail, as Osborne was known for his vivid depictions of horses, particularly those involved in racing or in stables. The piece is signed with the artist’s initials, and still features the original frame. William Osborne is today best remembered as the father of the artist Walter Osborne. But he was a significant artist in his own right. He specialised in painting animals especially his own terriers who were often depicted in his studio. Strickland wrote ''His pictures of dogs...

'Attilla' A Chestnut Horse in a Stable. Oil on canvas
By John Frederick Herring Sr.
Located in St. Albans, GB
Canvas 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...
