George (1860) Wright Sold at Auction Prices
Sport painter, Painter
George Wright's paintings are filled with active sporting events, such as hunting and horse racing. This British artist was born in 1860 and worked closely with his brother, Gilbert Wright, to create calendars with equestrian training and coaching event scenes. George Wright's paintings also showcase epic hunting scenes with vivid color contrasts.
He produced work for Grand Central Galleries in New York and Ackermanns in the UK, and his paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art. He eventually retired to Sussex, where he died in 1942. George Wright prints are highly prized because they offer views of exciting and engaging sporting events frozen in time, and George Wright's artwork for sale is in great demand. Buyers interested in sporting and animal oil paintings for sale can find exactly what they're looking for at Invaluable.

soldJul. 19, 2023George Wright, Head of a chestnut horse
Est: £250 - £350George Wright, British 1860-1942- Head of a chestnut horse; oil on canvas, signed and dated 'G. Wright / 80' (lower centre), 35.8 x 45.8 cm. Provenance: Private Collection. Note: Wright specialised in sporting and hunting scenes. He was one of a family of seven children, five of whom were professional artists. The present work is slightly different from the full-body portraits more often produced by the artist. By focusing more closely on the horse's face, and rather than solely describing its musculature and form, he effectively imparts a charming sense of its character.
