"Galloping Racehorse and Mounted Jockey in Red" is an 18th-century painting by the English artist James Seymour (1702–1752), known for his specialization in equine art. The painting captures the dynamic movement of a racehorse in full gallop, ridden by a jockey dressed in red, which was a typical racing silk color of the time. Seymour's work is characterized by its attention to the anatomical accuracy of the horses he depicted, as well as the sense of motion and vitality he imbued in his subjects.

James Seymour was one of the leading horse painters of his era, and his works were highly sought after by patrons from the British aristocracy, many of whom were involved in the burgeoning horse racing industry. "Galloping Racehorse and Mounted Jockey in Red" exemplifies Seymour's skill in portraying the grace and power of the racehorse, an animal that had become a symbol of prestige and entertainment in 18th-century Britain.

The painting is notable for its depiction of the horse's musculature and the dramatic portrayal of speed, with the jockey leaning forward, urging the horse onward. The background is typically minimalistic, as was common in Seymour's work, to keep the focus on the horse and rider. The use of color, light, and composition all serve to enhance the central theme of the race, a subject that resonated with the artist's contemporaries and continues to be appreciated by modern audiences.

As with many of Seymour's paintings, "Galloping Racehorse and Mounted Jockey in Red" reflects the artist's deep understanding of equine behavior and his ability to translate that knowledge onto canvas, making his work a valuable contribution to the genre of sporting art. The painting not only offers insight into the early days of horse racing but also stands as a testament to Seymour's enduring legacy as one of the foremost painters of horses in British art history.
