About the Item
The antique print titled 'Finish' is a lithograph based on a painting by an artist known as C. Becker. Created around 1895, this print was featured in a German magazine and depicts a scene involving jockeys, capturing the climax or concluding moment of a horse race.
**Key Elements of the Print:**
1. **Lithographic Process**: As a lithograph, this print would have been produced using a method that involves drawing on a flat stone or metal plate with a greasy substance, then using this plate to transfer the image onto paper. This technique was popular in the late 19th century for reproducing artworks.
2. **The Racing Scene**: The focus on jockeys suggests a dynamic and possibly tense moment typical of horse racing, such as the final stretch of a race ('Finish'). The depiction likely conveys motion, excitement, and the competitive spirit of the sport.
3. **Artistic Style of C. Becker**: While specific details about C. Becker might not be widely known, the artistic style would reflect the late 19th-century European art trends, possibly incorporating elements of realism to capture the action and intensity of the race.
4. **Cultural Significance**: Horse racing was a popular sport and social event in the late 19th century, attracting various social classes. Artworks depicting these events were common and celebrated the vigor and elegance of the sport.
5. **Publication Context**: Being featured in a German magazine indicates the print's appeal to a broad audience of the time. Magazines during this era often included artistic reproductions to captivate their readers with culturally relevant and exciting themes.
6. **Historical Value**: As an antique print, 'Finish' offers a glimpse into the sports culture and artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century. It serves as a historical representation of horse racing's popularity and the art of lithography.
This print, with its depiction of jockeys in a horse race, is not only an interesting piece for collectors of antique prints but also offers cultural and historical insights into the world of late 19th-century sports and leisure, as well as the art techniques prevalent at the time.
