James Ross
James Ross is a Barbizon school artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
James Ross painted 18th-century sporting scenes in oils, showing horses and crowds at races and fairs. The Finish of a Horse Race with a Country Fair in the Background is his only known work, dated 1718. The painting captures the moment after a race, with riders and spectators gathered on a grassy track surrounded by tents and carts. If you like lively scenes of early public events, tap into this single canvas for a glimpse of horse-racing culture in the early 1700s.
