EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Symptoms of Distress" from Charles Bentley's "The Grand Steeplechase Over Leicestershire," published in 1830, offers a vivid depiction of the raw emotions and physical exertion that come with horse racing in the 19th century England countryside. The aquatint on paper, created by the meticulous etching technique, brings to life the rich colors and textures of the scene. At the heart of the image, a fallen rider lies in a heap on the ground, his hat discarded and his body contorted in pain. The expression on his face conveys a sense of despair and defeat, while the other riders and their horses, shown in various stages of the race, embody determination and focus. The group of men in the background, some cheering and others tending to the fallen rider, underscores the communal aspect of this sporting event. The steeplechase, a popular horse racing competition in Britain, is depicted in all its glory. Horses and riders leap over a fence, their bodies in mid-air, while others race towards the finish line. The countryside setting, with its rolling hills and lush greenery, adds to the sense of grandeur and tradition. This powerful and evocative print, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse racing and the artistry of Charles Bentley. It invites viewers to reflect on the human experience of both triumph and adversity, as well as the rich heritage of British art.
