James Seymour
'Star', A running horse belonging to His Grace the Duke of Bridgewater

Angaben zum Objekt

James Seymour (1702-1752) 'Star', A running horse belonging to His Grace the Duke of Bridgewater Mezzotint by R. Houston Image size 10 x 14 in Framed size 13 x 17 in James Seymour was an English artist renowned for his equestrian and sporting art, particularly during the early Georgian era. Born in London in 1702 into a family involved in the print trade—his father, James Seymour Sr., was a banker and diamond merchant who also dealt in prints—Seymour was immersed from a young age in the world of art and engraving. This early exposure shaped both his career and his lasting influence on British sporting art. Seymour was largely self-taught but received guidance from established engravers and artists of the time. His fascination with horses and racing scenes became the hallmark of his work, aligning with the burgeoning popularity of horse racing among the British aristocracy. His drawings and paintings, which captured the elegance and energy of horses in motion, were widely admired and served as the basis for many notable prints. While Seymour was an accomplished painter, his legacy is particularly enriched by the proliferation of his images through prints. Collaborating with skilled engravers such as Thomas Burford and Gerard van der Gucht, Seymour’s original works were transformed into mezzotints and line engravings. These prints were not only more accessible to the public than original paintings but also pivotal in shaping the visual culture of 18th-century Britain. His prints typically depicted celebrated racehorses, jockeys, and hunts, often commissioned by patrons from the upper classes who sought to immortalize their prized animals. Among the most famous examples are the series of racehorses at Newmarket and portraits of individual animals like Flying Childers, one of the most legendary thoroughbreds of the era. Seymour’s prints are distinguished by their dynamic compositions and anatomical accuracy—traits that made them valuable not only as art but also as records of sporting history. These works were widely distributed, contributing to his popularity across England and beyond, and helped establish equestrian art as a significant genre within British visual culture. James Seymour died in 1752, but his work continued to influence later sporting artists such as George Stubbs. Today, Seymour is remembered as one of the earliest English painters to specialise in the racing scene, and his prints remain important artifacts in the history of both British art and horseracing. His surviving drawings and engraved prints are held in collections such as the British Museum and the Tate, and continue to be of interest to collectors, historians, and equestrian enthusiasts alike.
