Down Royal

Size: 120cm x 80cm

Materials: Oil on Board, Framed

Down Royal Racecourse is one of my favourite tracks. Conveniently located just off the A1, it’s always a pleasure to visit. Offering racing throughout the year, it hosts some of the biggest and most prestigious events in the Irish racing calendar. The course itself is a right-handed, square-shaped track, measuring just under two miles in length.

What makes Down Royal especially enjoyable for spectators is the unpredictability of the winners — surprises are never in short supply here. The highlight of the summer is the Down Royal Summer Festival, usually held at the end of June, featuring two days of thrilling, action-packed racing. In the painting, the lead horses are shown in the silks of Gigginstown, John Magnier, and Peter Fitzgerald.

Print Care & Preparation

When your print arrives in the post, do not open it straight away.
Resisting that urge is crucial for preserving your artwork.

Print Care Your print is a fine art product and, while robust, it’s still delicate.

The tube it is posted in offers vital protection during transport and storage. Here’s why taking it directly to your framer is the best approach: Unrolling is easy, but re-rolling and re-inserting the artwork back into the tube without damaging it can be quite challenging.

Professional Handling: Framers are equipped with the right tools and expertise (and often cotton gloves!) to safely unroll, inspect, and prepare your print for framing without causing any accidental creases, smudges, or tears.

Framing

Prints tend to look there best behind simple clean frames. The best frame colours to use are plain white, black, grey or
ash white moulding. I would advise to leave the 40cm white border as it displays the title of the print and the artist signa-
ture which gives a feel of authenticty your limited editon print.

Mounts

Always place your print behind glass. While our fine art paper is quite robust, it remains a paper-based print and requires
the essential protection that glass provides.
