Original Description
Fernand Harvey Lungren’s A Trial of Speed is a dynamic example of early 20th-century American Impressionism, capturing the thrilling energy of a horse race with bold brushwork and vibrant color contrasts. The painting exudes movement and tension, as the blurred forms of galloping horses and jockeys streak across the canvas, evoking the raw speed and competitive spirit of the moment. Set against a sunlit backdrop, Lungren’s loose yet deliberate strokes highlight his skillful play of light and shadow, a hallmark of his unique blend of Impressionism and realism. Created during a period when American artists were embracing modernist techniques while still honoring narrative subject matter, A Trial of Speed holds a distinctive place in Lungren’s oeuvre as well as in the broader context of early American modernism—bridging the gap between traditional genre scenes and a more expressive, modern aesthetic. Though lesser-known compared to contemporaries like Childe Hassam, Lungren’s work offers an authentic glimpse into the evolving American art scene of the time.
For interior decoration, A Trial of Speed would make a striking focal point in a study, office, or living room with classic, masculine, or equestrian-themed styling. Its kinetic energy pairs well with rich wood tones, leather furniture, and brass accents, reinforcing a sophisticated yet dynamic ambiance. Hang it in a well-lit area—ideally under directional lighting—to intensify the painting’s luminosity and depth. A large-scale reproduction (around 24" x 36") would command attention above a fireplace or behind a desk, while a smaller print could complement a curated gallery wall with complementary earth tones or muted blues. Balance the painting’s warm, vibrant palette with neutral walls (e.g., taupe or slate gray) to avoid overwhelming the space. In a corporate setting, it could inspire momentum and ambition—perfect for a conference room or executive office. For a cohesive look, pair it with minimalist frames in black or gold to echo the artwork’s dramatic contrasts.
