United Kingdom
Henry Bernard Chalon is an United Kingdom British Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
Henry Bernard Chalon painted horses. In 1811 he set oil on canvas to celebrate The English Blood-Horse 'Fidget', a speedy racehorse owned by the Prince of Wales. Chalon worked in London, where horse portraits filled print shops along Piccadilly. His brush captured the gleam of harness leather, the ripple of muscle, and the flick of an ear—details owners paid to show off their prized animals. See how he balanced a nervous stance and proud profile in The English Blood-Horse 'Fidget'.
