A LIFE OF HIS OWN BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST PRESENTS A MAJOR RETROSPECTIVE OF THE GREAT ENGLISH PAINTER SIR ALFRED MUNNINGS
Connoisseurs and collectors of the Art Establishment have looked on sporting art with condescension. Now they honour Sir Alfred Munnings as one of the two greatest painters of equestrian portraits, and the joys of rural life, in the history of English, or even world art. His reputation surges ever higher, his work fetches prices in the millions, up there with Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and David Hockney.
