EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in horse racing history. The Duke of Cleveland's Chorister, a majestic thoroughbred racehorse, stands tall and proud alongside his trainer John Smith and jockey John Day Snr. at Doncaster in 1831. Painted by the talented artist John E. Ferneley, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 85.7x106.6 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The Duke of Cleveland's Chorister was no ordinary horse; he was the winner of the prestigious St Leger Stakes, one of the most esteemed thoroughbred horse races of its time. With his sleek physique and determined gaze, Chorister embodies grace and power as he poses for this timeless portrait. In this artwork, Ferneley skillfully captures not only the physical beauty of these magnificent creatures but also their deep connection with humans through sport and competition. The painting exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as it transports us back to a bygone era when horseracing was both thrilling entertainment and a symbol of aristocratic prestige. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded once again why horses have long been revered as symbols of strength, elegance, and freedom. This image serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with these noble animals that continue to captivate our hearts even centuries later.
