Original Description
The painting Over The Fence by John Nost Sartorius is a lively and dynamic 18th-century English sporting work that captures the thrill of the hunt, a hallmark of British country life during this era. Depicting a dramatic moment as horses leap over a fence, the piece pulses with energy, with skilfully rendered musculature of the animals and the riders’ poised intensity. Sartorius, belonging to a notable family of equestrian artists, employed meticulous detailing and vibrant naturalism in this oil painting, reflecting the Georgian era’s fascination with rural pursuits and the elegance of equine subjects. It remains a key example of sporting art, a genre that gained prominence in Britain as both a social record and a celebration of aristocratic leisure, making it historically valuable for understanding 18th-century cultural ideals. The precision in movement and anatomy also ties it to the broader traditions of animal painting from Stubbs to Herring.
For interior styling, Over The Fence would elevate a study, library, or country-inspired office with its classic charm. Choose a traditional frame in gilt or distressed oak to honour its heritage and hang it in natural light to enhance the earthy greens and chestnut hues of the horses. A spacious wall above a leather Chesterfield sofa or a carved wooden desk would balance its busy composition. Alternatively, pair it with muted, neutral tones—linen beige or sage walls—to let the painting’s energy shine. For modern spaces, a large-scale print could introduce heritage contrast against sleek furniture, while in equestrian-themed rooms, it could harmonise with brass accents and rich textiles. Ideal dimensions would be medium to large (24x30” or larger) to preserve its dramatic impact without overwhelming.
