Painting Description
"Col. Anson's Attila, Winner Of The Derby 1842 With W. Scott" is a distinguished painting by the acclaimed British artist Henry Bernard Chalon. This artwork captures a significant moment in British equestrian history, commemorating the victory of the racehorse Attila in the 1842 Epsom Derby, one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. The painting is notable not only for its historical significance but also for its artistic merit, showcasing Chalon's exceptional skill in equine portraiture.
Henry Bernard Chalon (1770–1849) was a prominent animal painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, renowned for his detailed and lifelike depictions of horses, dogs, and other animals. His works were highly sought after by the British aristocracy, and he was appointed as Animal Painter to the Duchess of York. Chalon's ability to capture the physicality and spirit of his subjects made him a favorite among patrons who desired accurate and dynamic representations of their prized animals.
In this particular painting, Chalon masterfully portrays Attila, the celebrated racehorse owned by Colonel Anson, with jockey William Scott. The composition highlights the elegance and power of Attila, standing poised and ready, exuding an air of triumph and nobility. The attention to detail in the horse's musculature, the sheen of its coat, and the confident posture of the jockey reflect Chalon's deep understanding of equine anatomy and his commitment to realism.
The 1842 Epsom Derby was a notable event, and Attila's victory added to the horse's legacy, making this painting a valuable historical document. The Derby, held annually at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, England, has been a key fixture in the British social and sporting calendar since its inception in 1780. Winning the Derby is a significant achievement, and Chalon's painting serves as a lasting tribute to Attila's success and the skill of his jockey, W. Scott.
"Col. Anson's Attila, Winner Of The Derby 1842 With W. Scott" remains an important piece within the canon of British sporting art, reflecting both the cultural importance of horse racing in 19th-century Britain and the artistic prowess of Henry Bernard Chalon.
