The Start, from The Grand Steeplechase over Leicestershire,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite 19th century aquatint print by Charles Bentley, captures the electrifying moment of anticipation at the beginning of a steeplechase race in England. The image, published in 1830, portrays a group of riders and their horses lined up at the starting line, their expressions revealing a mix of determination, focus, and nervous energy. The horses, with their powerful muscles tensed and ears pricked, mirror the intensity of their riders, adding to the sense of excitement and rivalry in the air. Charles Bentley, a renowned British artist, masterfully employed the color aquatint technique on paper to bring this dynamic scene to life. The intricate details in the print, from the textured fabric of the riders' clothing to the individual blades of grass beneath the horses' hooves, transport the viewer to the rolling English countryside where the race is taking place. This work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the heritage of horse racing in Britain and the thrill of competition that continues to captivate audiences to this day. The Start, from The Grand Steeplechase over Leicestershire, is not only a stunning example of 19th century art but also a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic sport.
