Jenness Cortez Art
American, b. 1944
Jenness Cortez is a distinguished figure in the contemporary revival of classical realist painting. In her work, Cortez plays author, architect, visual journalist, art historian, curator and pundit to help open our eyes to what we might otherwise have overlooked or taken for granted. Each painting presents a specific theme, mixing straightforward cues and obscure illusions, complemented by references to other artists' lives and times. Each of her works touches upon important questions about the nature of painting and the significance of art objects and presents subtle shades of meaning that invite contemplation. Cortez has been exhibiting her work since 1975 and has had more than 40 solo shows throughout the United States. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, including those of President Ronald Reagan, President Bill Clinton, Governor George Pataki, Governor Hugh Carey, Queen Elizabeth II, the New York State Museum, Skidmore College and SUNY Empire State College.

Jenness Cortez, "Secretariat, Winning the Belmont at 31 Length", Original Oil
By Jenness Cortez
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
This rare original equine painting by renowned artist, Jenness Cortez, features legendary racehorse Secretariat sprinting towards the finish line at the 1973 Belmont race, winning by an incredible and historical 31 lengths.
Titled, “Secretariat, Winning the Belmont at 31 Length”, this beautiful oil painting measures 16 x 24.5 and is framed in an ornate warm silver and gold frame, complete with a commemorative plaque.
Secretariat is widely considered to be the greatest racehorse of all time and the most recognizable name in thoroughbred racing.
Big Red, as he is most often affectionately referred, became America’s Horse after his historic Triple Crown win in 1973, winning the Belmont Stakes by an unimaginable 31 lengths (in world record time) in what stands today as the single greatest horseracing performance ever.
