EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Pericles, a racehorse foaled in 1809. The image, captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. It was originally used as an illustration for "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses" by Thomas Henry Taunton, published in 1887. Pericles exudes power and grace as he gallops with sheer determination across the frame. His muscular physique and flowing mane are beautifully highlighted against the monochromatic backdrop. This photograph transports us back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also a significant part of history. The image evokes feelings of excitement and anticipation, capturing the essence of equine athleticism. Pericles represents more than just a racehorse; he symbolizes the spirit of competition and sportsmanship that transcends time. Through this photo print, we are reminded of the rich heritage associated with horses in various sporting events throughout history. It serves as a testament to their importance as both farm animals and beloved companions. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but be captivated by Pericles' strength and elegance that continue to inspire awe even centuries later.
