About the Item
In this charming oil on canvas, Irish artist Sam Spode beautifully captures a serene moment within the quiet, intimate setting of a stable. The grey pony, depicted with remarkable detail, stands alongside a loyal dog, creating a peaceful harmony between the two animals.
Samuel Spode was an equestrian artist who specialised in the portraiture of sporting horses. Spode appears to have received legal training in his early years and to have married and left England, under a government incentive for settlers, for Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania). He did not settle there and returned to England in 1826 from which time he begins to establish a career as a painter. Following the death of his first wife Spode re-married, only to become thrice widowed by 1839.
When Spode returned from Van Diemen's Land he settled with a family member close to the Mason Ironstone Works at Fenton in the Staffordshire Potteries. From here c.1830 he painted numerous works depicting the local landscape as well as horses and members of the equine community. In 1836 Spode visited Ireland to paint racehorses. He painted Birdcatcher also known as Irish Birdcatcher the first major Irish thoroughbred to win the Peel Cup at the Curragh on 21 October 1836 ('Samuel Spode', Antique Collecting, p.13). Records of notable Irish patrons for his works also exist, such as John Dawson Duckett Esq. of Carlow for a painting done in 1856.
