EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pretender (colour litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the beauty of English countryside life. The artwork depicts Pretender, a renowned racehorse who triumphed in both the 2000 Guinea Stakes at Newmarket and the Derby Stakes at Epsom in 1869. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this illustration was originally featured in Henry Downes Miles' book "English Country Life" around 1880. The image transports us to a rural landscape filled with green pastures and rolling hills. In this idyllic setting, we witness Pretender's majestic presence as he stands tall among other horses and ponies. His sleek physique exudes power and grace, capturing our attention instantly. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring the scene to life, enhancing every detail from the horses' coats to the surrounding nature. It is evident that great care has been taken to portray these magnificent animals realistically. As we admire this snapshot of history preserved through art, we are reminded of England's rich equestrian heritage and its deep connection with nature. This piece not only celebrates Pretender's remarkable achievements but also pays homage to rural life during a time when horses played an integral role on farms across Britain. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this masterpiece for future generations to appreciate. Through their efforts, we can now relish in the beauty captured within this stunning print from Fine Art Finder without any mention of commercial use or affiliations with companies
