<p>Over the course of a long and very successful career spanning the first half of the 20th century, Lucy Kemp-Welch established herself as one of the leading equestrian painters at work in the UK and one of the country¿s best-known women artists. David Boyd Haycock¿s new, extensively illustrated biography of Kemp-Welch brings this remarkable artist and her work back into sharp focus. </p><p>Born in 1869, Kemp-Welch first came to the art establishment¿s attention in 1897 when her immense painting, <em>Colt Hunting in the New Forest</em>, caused a sensation at the Royal Academy¿s Summer Exhibition; the work was bought for the Nation by the Chantry Bequest in the year of exhibition.
