Über das Gemälde
Abraham Cooper (1787-1868) showed an early aptitude for drawing, especially horses and dogs. At thirteen he went to work for his uncle, William Davis, manager of Astley's circus, famous for its spectacular equestrian dramas. This gave him the opportunity to study horses at first hand. In 1809 he decided he wanted to be an artist and taught himself how to paint in oil. He went on to study with the celebrated horse painter Benjamin Marshall.
Cooper first exhibited at the Royal Academy and British Institution in 1812. His early work was dominated by images of horses and dogs but by 1815 he was also producing battle paintings, often of the Civil War. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1817, and a Royal Academician in 1820.
