British Open Championship Gold Cup 1991 Polo Match
By Michael Grimsdale
Located in GB
Michael Grimsdale is a British painter known for his refined portrayals of horses, sporting subjects, and commissioned portraits. Born in London in 1936, Grimsdale spent much of his early life abroad, following his family’s military postings to Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Africa. These formative experiences, coupled with his early exposure to varied landscapes and cultures, would later inform the breadth and vitality of his artistic vision. Educated at Cheltenham College and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, Grimsdale initially trained for a military career before pursuing his true vocation as a painter. He later studied at St Martin’s School of Art in London, where he developed a disciplined, realist approach to painting grounded in keen observation and a deep respect for traditional technique. Periods of residence in Mexico and Australia broadened his visual vocabulary and deepened his sensitivity to light and colour. Grimsdale established his reputation through a steady stream of private commissions—portraits of individuals, equestrian studies, and sporting scenes, especially polo—executed with precision and elegance. His celebrated work Galileo at Coolmore Stud exemplifies his command of equine anatomy and his ability to convey both the physical presence and inner nobility of his subjects. His paintings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Cowdray Park Polo Club, and galleries in London, Jersey, Sydney, and Houston, and they are represented in numerous private collections worldwide. Working primarily in oil, Grimsdale paints in a realistic yet lyrical style, characterized by clarity of form, balanced composition, and a polished surface. His art stands firmly within the British tradition of sporting and animal painting, yet it also reflects a modern sensibility—an attention to atmosphere, light, and personality that transcends genre. Now an established and widely collected artist, Michael Grimsdale continues to embody the enduring appeal of fine figurative painting in the contemporary era, blending technical mastery with the warmth and grace of lived experience. This painting commemorates the 1991 edition of the British Open Championship Gold Cup...

Sir Francis Dicksee Portrait, c. 1900
Located in New York, NY
Sir Francis Dicksee (English, 1853-1928) Untitled (Portrait of a Woman), c. 1900 Oil on canvas; period frame Sight: 13 1/4 in. Framed: 21 1/8 x 21 1/8 x 3 3/8 in. Frank Dicksee was a member of a noted artistic family, his father, brother, and sister Margaret were all well-known painters, and the family lived in the Bloomsbury area of London. He was initially trained by his father, before entering the Royal Academy schools in 1870. Amongst the visiting lecturers who trained him, were the famous senior academicians Leighton [1830-1896] and Millais [1829-1896]. Dicksee was a star student, earning many distinctions and medals. Like many other artists of the day his early career was largely spent in book illustration, as well as some stained glass window design. He started exhibiting at the RA in the mid 1870s, and also exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery, though his real base was always the Academy. Dicksee made his reputation with Harmony, exhibited at the Academy in 1877, and bought by the Chantry Bequest. Frank Dicksee was elected ARA in 1881, and became a full RA ten years later. Many of his pictures were of dramatic historical and legendary scenes. He also was a noted painter of elegant, highly-finished portraits of fashionable women, which of course helped to bring him material success. Many of these portraits are so beautiful, it is really difficult to disapprove of them - happy was the fashionable lady whose portrait was painted by Dicksee! He also painted landscapes. Dicksee lived in St John's Wood, and remained a bachelor. He was, of course, one of the nineteenth century artists who outlived his time, and was, to his credit, very unhappy with developments in the early twentieth century. Rather surprisingly, Dicksee was elected President of the Royal Academy in 1924, fulfilling the role with panache and tact. Physically he was a tall, good-looking, patrician figure, with a charming easy-going manner. Like his predecessor but one Edward Poynter...
