"Antonio, the Winner of the Great St. Leger at Doncaster, 1819" is a notable painting by the English painter John Frederick Herring Sr. (1795–1865), who was renowned for his depictions of horses and rural life. The painting commemorates the victory of the racehorse Antonio in the St. Leger Stakes, a prestigious flat horse race in England, which took place in 1819. Herring, an artist with a keen interest in the equine subject, captured the triumphant moment with a sense of realism and attention to detail that characterizes his work.

The St. Leger Stakes, established in 1776, is the oldest of Britain's five Classics and is held annually in September at the Doncaster Racecourse in South Yorkshire. Antonio's victory in the 1819 race would have been a significant event, attracting the attention of horse racing enthusiasts and the general public alike. Herring's painting serves not only as a historical record of this event but also as an example of early 19th-century British sporting art.

John Frederick Herring Sr. was a self-taught artist who began his career as a coachman, and his intimate knowledge of horses contributed to the authenticity and vitality of his paintings. His works were highly regarded during his lifetime and continue to be celebrated for their contribution to the genre of animal painting. "Antonio, the Winner of the Great St. Leger at Doncaster, 1819" exemplifies Herring's skill in portraying the physicality and grace of racehorses, as well as his ability to convey the excitement and prestige of horse racing during the period.
