"Eclipse By Marske, With A Jockey Up" is a notable painting by John Nost Sartorius, an esteemed British artist renowned for his equestrian and sporting art. Sartorius, who lived from 1759 to 1828, was part of the prolific Sartorius family of painters, which included his father, Francis Sartorius, and his grandfather, John Sartorius. The family was well-regarded for their contributions to the genre of sporting art, particularly in the depiction of horses and hunting scenes.

The painting captures the celebrated racehorse Eclipse, a chestnut Thoroughbred who became one of the most famous and successful racehorses in history. Eclipse was foaled in 1764 and was named after the solar eclipse that occurred on the day of his birth. He was sired by Marske, a stallion with a less distinguished racing career, but who gained fame through his progeny. Eclipse's racing career was nothing short of extraordinary; he remained unbeaten in 18 races and subsequently became a highly influential sire, with his lineage continuing to impact Thoroughbred racing to this day.

In "Eclipse By Marske, With A Jockey Up," Sartorius masterfully portrays the horse in a moment of poised readiness, with a jockey astride, capturing the grace, power, and elegance that Eclipse was known for. The painting is a testament to Sartorius's skill in rendering equine anatomy and movement, as well as his ability to convey the dynamic relationship between horse and rider. The detailed depiction of the jockey's attire and the horse's tack further enhances the historical authenticity and visual appeal of the work.

This painting not only serves as an artistic celebration of Eclipse's legacy but also provides valuable insight into the sporting culture of 18th-century Britain. It reflects the period's fascination with horse racing and the prominence of Thoroughbred horses in society. Sartorius's work remains a significant piece within the canon of British sporting art, admired for its historical importance and artistic merit.
