EDITORS COMMENTS
In this equestrian portrait, we are transported back in time to the 18th century, where Joseph Smyth Esquire takes center stage. Mounted on a magnificent dapple grey horse, Smyth exudes an air of authority and elegance as he assumes his role as Lieutenant of Whittlebury Forest in Northamptonshire. Painted by the renowned artist George Stubbs between 1762 and 1764, every brushstroke captures the essence of Smyth's character. Dressed in a distinguished frock coat that speaks to his social standing, he epitomizes the grace and sophistication of the era. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the carefully rendered folds of his coat to the meticulously painted docked tail of his steed. The composition is expertly balanced with Smyth positioned slightly off-center, drawing our gaze towards him while allowing us to appreciate both man and horse in all their glory. This masterpiece now resides at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in England. As we admire this painting today, it serves as a testament not only to Joseph Smyth's esteemed position but also to Stubbs' exceptional talent for capturing both human and equine subjects with unparalleled skill. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this print brings together art enthusiasts who can appreciate its beauty across generations.
