EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and grace of Flying Childers, a legendary racehorse from the 18th century. In this stunning portrait, created by James Seymour, we see the magnificent steed galloping to the left with an air of untamed freedom. The artist's masterful use of black chalk heightened with white adds depth and texture to every stroke. Flying Childers is shown bridled but not saddled, emphasizing his wild spirit and raw energy. His muscular body is beautifully rendered, showcasing his strength and athleticism. As he charges forward, his flowing mane and tail create a sense of dynamic movement frozen in time. Owned by the 4th Duke of Devonshire at one point in history, this artwork holds historical significance as it documents one of England's most celebrated racehorses. It serves as a testament to both Seymour's artistic skill and Flying Childers' status as a true icon in equestrian history. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection, this print invites viewers into a world where speed meets elegance. Whether you are an avid horse lover or simply appreciate fine artistry, this piece will undoubtedly leave you captivated by its timeless beauty.
