Painting Description
"Becher's Brook, First Time Round" is a notable painting by George Finch Mason, an English artist renowned for his equestrian and sporting scenes. Created in the late 19th century, this work captures the dramatic and often perilous nature of the Grand National, one of the most famous and challenging horse races in the world, held annually at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England.
The painting specifically depicts the moment when horses and their jockeys navigate Becher's Brook, one of the most infamous fences on the Grand National course. Named after Captain Martin Becher, who fell at this obstacle during the first Grand National in 1839, Becher's Brook is notorious for its deceptive appearance and the difficulty it presents. The fence features a significant drop on the landing side, which often catches both horses and riders off guard, leading to dramatic and sometimes dangerous falls.
Finch Mason's work is celebrated for its dynamic composition and meticulous attention to detail, capturing the tension and excitement of the race. The artist's background as a sportsman and his intimate knowledge of horse racing are evident in the accuracy and vitality of the scene. His ability to convey the movement and energy of the horses, as well as the anxiety and determination of the jockeys, makes "Becher's Brook, First Time Round" a compelling and historically significant piece.
The painting not only serves as a visual record of a specific moment in the Grand National but also reflects the broader cultural fascination with horse racing in Victorian England. It stands as a testament to Finch Mason's skill and his contribution to the genre of sporting art, offering viewers a glimpse into the thrilling world of 19th-century horse racing.
