EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases Anthony St Leger, a remarkable figure from the 18th century. Standing tall and confident in the picturesque countryside, St Leger exudes an air of authority and elegance. This portrait captures his essence as a soldier, politician, and founder of the renowned St. Leger Stakes horse race. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Thomas Gainsborough, known for his exceptional talent in capturing human emotions and natural landscapes. Gainsborough's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this lithograph, bringing out the intricate features of St Leger's face and attire. Surrounded by lush greenery and with an animal companion by his side, St Leger appears at one with nature - a fitting representation of his love for both politics and outdoor pursuits. The composition perfectly balances his role as a statesman with his passion for country life. Originally featured in H. Clifford Smith's book "Buckingham Palace: Its Furniture, Decoration and History" published in 1931, this print has stood the test of time as an iconic portrayal of an influential Georgian figure. As we admire this artwork today through Fine Art Finder's collection at www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded not only of Anthony St Leger’s significant contributions but also of Gainsborough’s artistic brilliance that continues to inspire generations to come.
