EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Sir Briggs, horse of Lord Tredegar (1831-1913) of the 17th Lancers" during their time in Crimea in 1854 and 1856. Painted by Alfred de Prades, this oil on canvas masterpiece is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The painting captures a momentous period in history when Sir Briggs was ridden by Lord Tredegar during the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava. The artist skillfully portrays the noble steed with its striking presence and powerful physique, standing proudly amidst a campsite filled with tents. The equestrian portrait not only pays homage to Sir Briggs but also serves as a testament to the bravery and valor displayed by both horse and rider during this tumultuous time. The attention to detail is evident as every brushstroke brings life to each element within the composition - from the meticulously rendered groom tending to Sir Briggs' needs, to the intricately designed tent serving as their temporary shelter. This remarkable artwork allows us to glimpse into an important chapter of military history while celebrating the bond between man and horse. It serves as a reminder of courage under fire and honors those who fought valiantly for their cause. As we admire this painting, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand one extraordinary partnership that left an indelible mark on history.
