Description
🎨 Subject & Medium A standout example of 19th-century British sporting art, this painting brings to life a traditional English fox hunt. Set on the grounds of Norwood House, Beverley, the central rider in a bold scarlet coat leads the charge on a black stallion, riding crop raised mid-action, while a lively pack of hounds springs into motion at the forest’s edge. The narrative tension and visual rhythm are masterfully executed. The painting is signed lower right and retains the original commission price verso. 🖌️ Composition & Technique Figures and horses are rendered with crisp anatomical precision, while the landscape is expressed through textured, fluid strokes. A moody sky in soft greys and blues heightens the drama. The dominant earthy palette is punctuated by the vibrant scarlet coat—drawing the eye and grounding the scene. Depth and anticipation are created through a line of distant riders pausing at a gate as the lead pack disappears into the forest. This is not merely a depiction of sport—it’s a highly atmospheric study of movement, landscape, and Victorian tradition. 👨‍🎨 About the Artist:- James Albert Buchanan Jay trained at the Royal Academy Schools and was a noted exhibitor at both the Royal Academy (notably in 1878 and 1880) and the Walker Art Gallery. Born into the Herefordshire gentry, he was deeply immersed in the world of country pursuits and equestrian life. His works are rare, highly collectible, and known for their authenticity, detail, and compositional strength. Top examples of his work have fetched over $32,000 USD. This piece is considered one of his finest and most historically important. 🖼️ Frame:- Housed in a newly fitted Larson-Juhl gold leaf scoop profile frame, this elegant and substantial surround enhances the work’s period feel and is ready for immediate display. 📜 Provenance:- Royal Academy Exhibition, 1880 (Catalogue No. 292) Norwood House, Beverley Private Collection Notable southern shire auction house Curated by Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD Museum Exhibition in the middle shire region ✅ Why This Piece Is Special ✔ Rare Royal Academy-exhibited Victorian hunting scene ✔ Signed by a respected British sporting artist ✔ Historically linked to Norwood House, a Grade I Georgian estate ✔ Museum-standard framing and condition ✔ Ideal for collectors, interior designers, and equestrian enthusiasts ✔ Rich in detail, narrative, and historical atmosphere 📄 Certificate of Authenticity:- A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany the piece, issued by Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD, confirming the artwork’s title, artist, date, medium, provenance, and exhibition history. 🛍️ Make it Yours:- An exceptional opportunity to acquire a Royal Academy-exhibited Victorian equestrian masterpiece.
