John Frederick Herring Sr. (12 September 1795 – 23 September 1865), also known as John Frederick Herring I, was a painter, sign maker and coachman in Victorian England. He painted the 1848 "Pharoah's Chariot Horses" , He amended his signature "SR" (senior) in 1836, with the growing fame of his teenage son John Frederick Herring Jr. A highly successful and prolific artist, Herring ranks along with Sir Edwin Landseer as one of the more eminent animal painters of mid-nineteenth (19th) century Europe. The paintings of Herring were very popular, and many were engraved, including his 33 winners of the St. Leger and his 21 winners of the Derby. Herring exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1818 to 1865,[3] at the British Institution from 1830 to 1865,[2] and at the Society of British Artists in 1836-1852, where Herring became Vice-President in 1842.
