Painting Description
"The Grand National, 1900. 'Ambush II wins'" is a notable artwork by George Finch Mason, an English painter and illustrator renowned for his depictions of sporting scenes, particularly those involving horses and hunting. This particular work captures the thrilling moment of victory as Ambush II crosses the finish line at the Grand National steeplechase in 1900, a prestigious and challenging horse race held annually at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England.
The painting is celebrated for its dynamic representation of the race and the skillful portrayal of the equine athletes and their jockeys in the heat of competition. Mason's attention to detail and his ability to convey the excitement and movement of the race are evident in this piece. The artwork serves not only as a visual record of a significant sporting event but also as a testament to Mason's talent in capturing the essence of the sport of kings.
Ambush II's victory in the 1900 Grand National was notable as he was owned by Prince Edward of Wales, who later became King Edward VII. This royal connection adds historical significance to the painting, making it an important cultural artifact that reflects both the sporting heritage and the social context of the time.
As an artist, George Finch Mason (1850–1915) was a regular contributor to illustrated papers and magazines, such as "The Graphic" and "Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News," where his works reached a wide audience. His artistry contributed to the popularization of horse racing and hunting scenes in Victorian and Edwardian England, and his works remain of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of equine art.
The painting "The Grand National, 1900. 'Ambush II wins'" is a quintessential example of Mason's oeuvre, encapsulating the energy and grandeur of the Grand National, and it continues to be appreciated by art and horse racing aficionados alike.
