EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "Tarrare ridden by George Nelson" artist John Frederick Herring Snr captures the essence of a thrilling moment in horse racing history. The artwork, measuring 47x58 cm, showcases the magnificent thoroughbred racehorse Tarrare as he is skillfully guided by jockey George Nelson. The painting immortalizes the victorious duo's triumph in the 1826 St Leger Stakes, one of the most prestigious races of its time. Tarrare's exceptional speed and agility are evident as he gallops across the canvas with unparalleled grace and power. His muscular physique and fiery spirit make him a true champion among his peers. Owned by the esteemed 6th Earl of Scarborough, Tarrare represents not only an outstanding racehorse but also a symbol of aristocratic pride and success. The portrait beautifully captures his regal presence and noble stature. Herring Snr expertly brings to life every detail - from Nelson's focused expression to Tarrare's flowing mane - creating a lifelike representation that transports viewers back to this exhilarating moment in horseracing history. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection but is made accessible through eThe British Sporting Art Trust. Its inclusion within their collection ensures that future generations can appreciate both Herring Snr's artistic talent and celebrate the timeless beauty of these majestic creatures who have captivated human hearts for centuries.
