'Hurdling Home at Aintree' painted by Jane Braithwaite SEA Oil on linen canvas | 54 cm x 100 cm (21 inches x 39 inches) | Impressionist, framed in mid grey wood with slip.
Jane Braithwaite’s Hurdling Home at Aintree channels the fierce, breath‑held drama of a race in its final throes. The horses are caught mid‑surge, muscles taut and stretched, with jockeys driving them on in a blur of colour and urgency. There’s that signature Braithwaite balance between precision and motion—the sense of hooves drumming, air rushing, and the whole field straining for the line—turning the home stretch into a moment of pure, exhilarating momentum.
