Painting Description
Foxhall: By King Alfonso, Dam Jamaca, By Lexington is a notable lithograph created by the renowned American printmaking firm Currier & Ives. Established in New York City in 1834 by Nathaniel Currier and later joined by James Merritt Ives, Currier & Ives became famous for producing affordable and widely distributed prints that captured various aspects of 19th-century American life. Their works ranged from landscapes and historical events to portraits and scenes of everyday life, making them a household name in American art.
The lithograph in question, Foxhall: By King Alfonso, Dam Jamaca, By Lexington, is part of Currier & Ives' extensive collection of equestrian-themed prints. This particular piece highlights the firm’s dedication to capturing the elegance and dynamism of thoroughbred racehorses, a popular subject during the period. The title itself provides insight into the horse's lineage, indicating that Foxhall is sired by King Alfonso and out of the mare Jamaca, who is by Lexington. This detailed pedigree underscores the importance of breeding in the world of horse racing, a sport that captivated the American public in the 19th century.
Currier & Ives' equestrian prints were highly sought after, not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their ability to convey the spirit and vigor of the horses they depicted. The lithographs were produced using a meticulous process that involved drawing the image on a limestone block with a greasy crayon, then treating the stone with a chemical solution to fix the drawing. Ink would adhere to the greasy areas while being repelled by the rest of the stone, allowing for multiple copies to be printed.
Foxhall: By King Alfonso, Dam Jamaca, By Lexington exemplifies the technical skill and artistic sensitivity that Currier & Ives brought to their work. It remains a valuable piece for collectors and historians, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of 19th-century America and the enduring legacy of Currier & Ives in the realm of printmaking.
