Hailed as the 'Derby' of the coursing world, the Waterloo Cup was established in 1836, as the result of a meeting at Sefton Altcar, a village near Liverpool. Named after the rendezvous point of the Waterloo Hotel, it became the most famous of all British coursing events, making the winning greyhounds landmarks in the history of the breed.

Michael Lyne was born in Upton Bishop in Herefordshire and studied at the Cheltenham School of Art. A painter of mainly sporting, equestrian, subjects and hunting scenes in both oil and watercolours. He illustrated many books and also wrote and illustrated Horses, Hounds and Country (1938). Michael Lyne exhibited in London but lived for much of his life in Cheltenham.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

British sporting art from this period typically focuses on equestrian pursuits, field sports, and working dogs, capturing movement and rural landscapes with detailed accuracy.

Traditional sporting paintings are created using oil paints applied to stretched linen canvas or wooden panels, often framed in gilded or timber mouldings.

Authenticity is verified through artist signatures, characteristic brushwork techniques, period-correct canvas preparation, and age-appropriate varnish condition.

Sporting paintings add character to contemporary spaces when hung above a mantelpiece, positioned in a dark-panelled study, or styled alongside natural wood and leather furniture.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity, dusting gently with a soft dry brush rather than applying liquid cleaners.
