About the piece
Painted in 1888, this masterwork by Alfred William Finch depicts the Wellington Racecourse in Ostend. Finch employs the Neo-Impressionist pointillist method—applying small, distinct dots of color that blend in the viewer's eye—to evoke the soft, atmospheric light of a drizzly day. The composition leads from a textured wooden fence in the foreground across the verdant turf toward distant grandstands and fluttering flags.
