George Wright
A hunter in a stable interior, by George Wright (30 June 1860 - 11 March 1944)

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
