George Wright Animal Paintings

British, 1860-1942
Born near Leeds, England in 1860. Wright was the elder brother of Gilbert Scott Wright, with whom he worked in the early part of the twentieth century. He is believed to have worked as an illustrator early in his career. He lived in Rugby, England for a couple of years, during which period he painted polo scenes; he later lived in Oxford and in Richmond, Surrey. Upon his retirement in 1939 he moved to Seaford, Sussex. He was best known for his hunting and coaching scenes and for his horse and equestrian portraits; he also painted historical subjects, including several small works of Cavaliers. Wright died in Seaford, Sussex, England in 1942.

George Wright (1860–1942) Fox Hunting Scene Oil on canvas, signed lower left Circa 1920 Presented in a newly made, hand-carved Watts-style frame A spirited and richly atmospheric example of English sporting art by George Wright, one of the foremost British equestrian painters of the early 20th century. This oil on canvas captures the thrilling energy of a mounted fox hunt as riders in scarlet coats gallop across an open countryside, accompanied by a lively pack of hounds coursing through a stream. Wright’s deft brushwork and ability to render movement and musculature make his work particularly admired among collectors of sporting and animal art. The moody sky and brisk terrain contribute to a sense of action unfolding in real time—a hallmark of Wright’s dynamic compositions. Signed lower left, the painting is framed in a superb hand-crafted Watts-style frame, lending an additional sense of classical elegance and elevating its visual presence. George Wright’s works are held in private collections and continue to be exhibited by specialists in British sporting painting...
