EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a picturesque scene at Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire, England. Painted by the talented artist Peter Tillemans in 1724, "Two Racehorses with Grooms and Hounds in the Park" showcases the beauty of both nature and architecture. In the foreground, two magnificent racehorses can be seen accompanied by their attentive grooms and a pack of hounds. The chestnut-colored horse stands tall and proud, while its grey companion exudes elegance and grace. The riders atop these majestic creatures are dressed in vibrant red jackets, adding a touch of color to the composition. As we gaze into the distance, our eyes are drawn to Newstead Abbey itself - an impressive mansion that was once an Augustinian priory before being transformed into a grand domestic residence after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This stately home holds historical significance as it served as Lord Byron's ancestral abode, inspiring his poetic works during his time there. Tillemans skillfully captures not only the essence of equestrian sport but also highlights the harmonious coexistence between man and animal within this idyllic countryside setting. With every brushstroke on canvas, he brings life to this moment frozen in time. Displayed proudly at Nottingham City Museums and Galleries' Newstead Abbey collection, this painting serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and cultural heritage for all who appreciate fine art.
