Charles Russell

Charles Russell could sit for hours sketching horses on scraps of paper while the rest of London hustled past. He once painted a fox hunt in such detail you can almost hear the hounds—no fancy theories, just the grit and sweat of the moment. If you’ve ever stood too close to a museum wall, hunt down *The O’Connell Centenary Celebrations* in the corner; it’s his crowded Dublin street scene that snaps the chaos into something you can touch.
