This is the second volume in a series of art reference works which studies the relationship of the artist to sport. The author, a specialist dealer in sporting paintings and a former racehorse breeder, is a leading authority on the subject. In this instance, she turns her attention to the Sport of Kings and looks in depth at horse racing. In this illustrated book Mary Ann Wingfield provides a detailed and readable account of the historical background to flat racing' steeple chasing and point-to-pointing before turning her attention to the artists and their paintings. Containing not just visual delights but also much entertaining anecdotal material, this book a mine of information about art and the sport itself. It is a book which should be enjoyed by the sportsman and the social historian as well as anyone with an interest in sporting paintings.
