EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning reproduction captures the essence of George Stubbs' iconic painting of the undefeated racehorse Eclipse, created in 1782. Eclipse, a thoroughbred born in 1764, is depicted in all his glory, with muscles rippling beneath his sleek coat and a determined look in his eyes. The painting is a testament to Stubbs' exceptional skill in capturing the power, grace, and athleticism of the horse. Eclipse's racing career was nothing short of remarkable. He won an impressive 18 races, a feat that solidified his place in history as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. After retiring from racing, Eclipse went on to become a successful sire, passing on his exceptional racing abilities and physical attributes to the next generation. This painting, a masterpiece of the 18th century, showcases Stubbs' innovative approach to equine art. Unlike his contemporaries, who focused on portraying horses in a static pose, Stubbs captured the horse in motion, highlighting the fluidity and dynamism of the animal. The result is a work of art that transcends its historical significance and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and intrigue. George Stubbs was a pioneer in equine art, and this painting of Eclipse is a prime example of his groundbreaking work. The intricate details, from the veins in the horse's ears to the individual hairs on his coat, showcase Stubbs' meticulous attention to detail. The painting is a must-have for any art or equestrian enthusiast, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of one of the greatest racehorses in history.
