AHEAD BY A LENGTH by Henry Stull. (American 1851-1913)
This biography from the Archives of AskART:
While Henry Stull initially wanted to be an actor, his life and art ultimately revolved around racehorses. To make this point, it has been said he was born above a stable in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 1851, but this may be an item helpful to making his life story seem even more predestined.
Stull was an illustrator for three years for "Leslie's Weekly" when he moved to New York City in 1873. His destiny with horses began to be fulfilled when he was hired as a cartoonist by a magazine, "The Spirit of the Times", that covered sports, including horse racing. He began the study of horse anatomy at a veterinary college when he evolved into painting portraits of racehorses.
Stull painted his very realistic, centered, full-figure portraits of American race winners and famous European horses in his studio in New York City based on drawings of the horses in their natural settings. He spent so much time in the bluegrass horse country of Kentucky--his last visit in 1912--that it was said he might as well have lived there.
Henry Stull is generally thought of as one of two major nineteenth-century painters of thoroughbred racehorses in America. The other is Edward Troye.
Stull died in 1913. He was a member of the Coney Island Jockey Club; his work may be found in the Jockey Club of New York City.
