A stunning book to commemorate the installation of the Paul Mellon collection of British Sporting Paintings, ca. 1700-1850, in the new west wing of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which opened December 1985. The book presents introductions and entries for 58 paintings representing scenes of fox-hunting, horse racing, shooting, angling as well as portraits of the distinguished sportsmen and champion animals of the day, and offers an appreciative view of country life in sporting centers such as Newmarket, Doncaster and Melton Mowbray. Thirty artists, among them, John Wootton, James Seymour, George Stubbs, George Morland, James Ward, Ben Marshall, R.B. Davis, Henry Alken and Francis Grant evoke the gentility and ceremony of hunts and races set within the scenic British countryside. Many of these paintings were associated with the Royal Academy; some were the favorite sporting artists of Kings George III, George IV, William IV, and Queen Victoria. The lives and work of these British sporting artists represented in this collection are recounted with attentive detail by author, Judy Egerton, who holds the position of Assistant Keeper of the British Collection at the Tate Gallery, London. Our books are cleaned and dust jackets placed in new mylar whenever possible. Offered from a five star, professional bookseller and proud member of the Virginia Antiquarian Booksellers Association.
