EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the exhilarating world of horse racing in 1836. The image showcases "Bay Middleton" a magnificent steed who triumphantly claimed victory at the prestigious Derby that year. Captured by the skilled hand of James Pollard, a renowned British artist, this artwork now finds its home in the esteemed British Museum in London. The composition beautifully captures Bay Middleton's sheer power and grace as he gallops across the finish line, his muscles rippling with every stride. His jockey skillfully guides him towards glory, their partnership evident through their synchronized movements. The intensity of the race is palpable; you can almost hear the thundering hooves and feel the anticipation radiating from both spectators and participants alike. Owned by none other than the Earl of Jersey himself, Bay Middleton represents not only an exceptional equine athlete but also a symbol of aristocratic prestige and privilege during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we cannot help but be reminded of how art has always played an integral role in immortalizing moments that define our history. Through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, admirers worldwide have been granted access to experience firsthand this extraordinary piece of equestrian history.
