EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Winning Post, from The Grand Steeplechase over Leicestershire," was created by renowned British artist Charles Bentley in 1830. The image, an intricately detailed color aquatint on paper, transports us back to the 19th century and the thrilling world of horse racing in England. The scene unfolds at the finishing line of the Grand Steeplechase in Leicestershire, England, where the excitement of the race reaches its peak. A jubilant crowd of onlookers, both men and women, gather around the winning post, their faces filled with anticipation and delight. At the center of the composition, the winning rider triumphantly raises his hand in victory, while his horse, covered in sweat and mud, proudly wears the winner's laurel wreath. The artist masterfully captures the raw energy and emotion of the moment, as well as the picturesque beauty of the English countryside. The rolling hills, lush greenery, and quaint buildings in the background add to the idyllic setting of the scene. This stunning work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing and the rich heritage of British art. The intricate etching technique, with its subtle coloring and meticulous attention to detail, invites us to linger and appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Charles Bentley.
