"A Race Meeting on Newmarket Heath" is a significant early 18th-century painting by Peter Tillemans, a Flemish painter who became one of the pioneering artists in depicting British sporting scenes. This artwork, created circa 1720, is particularly notable for its detailed representation of a horse racing event on Newmarket Heath, which is considered the cradle of British horse racing. The painting captures the early days of the sport in Great Britain, showcasing not only the race itself but also providing a vivid snapshot of the social gathering that accompanied such events, reflecting the customs and attire of the era.

Peter Tillemans (1684–1734) moved to England in 1708 and quickly established himself as a versatile painter, adept in landscapes, battle scenes, and portraits. However, it was his sporting and hunting scenes that garnered him significant acclaim, contributing to the development of these genres in British art. "A Race Meeting on Newmarket Heath" stands out in Tillemans' oeuvre for its dynamic composition, attention to detail, and its role in documenting the early history of horse racing in Britain. The painting not only highlights Tillemans' skill in capturing the energy and movement of the race but also his ability to depict the social aspects of the event, from the spectators in their finery to the gamblers and horse handlers.

Newmarket Heath in Suffolk was, and remains, a central hub for horse racing in the UK, making Tillemans' work an important historical document as well as a piece of art. The painting serves as a window into the 18th-century British society and its leisure activities, offering insights into the cultural significance of horse racing and its evolution into a structured sport. "A Race Meeting on Newmarket Heath" is celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the visual history of horse racing, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the heritage of British sport.
