Description
George Wright (1860-1942) was a British painter of coaching and hunting scenes. He was the elder brother of Gilbert Scott Wright. Mainly a self-taught artist, although it is thought he worked with his younger brother until 1925. During that time their combined work was frequently reproduced on calendars. George Wright lived for some time in Rugby and Oxford before moving to Richmond in Surrey in 1929, before retiring to Seaford in Sussex, where he remained until his death in 1942. Considered to be one of the best sporting painters of his time, his highly accomplished action paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1892 onward, along with many other venues in the country.
This set of four fine prints includes the pieces entitled "Jumping Creek," "Wagon Ride," "Red Lion," and "Going Hunting."
