There are two reasons. One is anatomy: the animal has a long neck, a deep chest and four legs that move in a sequence no artist could freeze before photography, so getting one right was a public demonstration of skill. The other is status. A horse was transport, war, agriculture and money, so the man who owned one wanted it in the picture, and it became the way a picture said rich without saying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat double role runs through this collection. Some of these works are equestrian portraits, where the rider is the subject and the horse is the throne. Others are equine studies, where the horse is the subject and the rider is furniture.

Put a man on a horse, raise the viewpoint slightly, and he becomes a monument. Every ceremonial picture in this collection is doing that job, whether the sitter is a Polish rider, a French officer, a Puerto Rican lady on horseback or a Polish marshal on a mare called Kasztanka.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe convention has rules. The horse rears or walks; it never stands still, because a still horse makes the rider look posed. The head turns toward the viewer while the body turns away, which gives the picture depth. The light comes from the front and slightly above, so the chest and the near foreleg carry the highlight. Once you know the formula you can see it in a picture from 1450 and in one from 1900, and the pleasure of the genre is watching different hands solve the same problem, which is most of what art history consists of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe horse in battle and story painting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistory painting is a genre defined by its subject matter rather than by style or period. Pictures of that kind depict a moment in a narrative story, most often Greek and Roman mythology or Bible stories, as opposed to a specific and static subject like a portrait, a still life or a landscape. The term comes from the wider senses of historia in Latin and histoire in French, meaning story or narrative, so the term essentially means story painting, and most of these works are not scenes from history at all, especially those made before about 1850.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorses are what make those stories move. In a battle scene the horse provides the diagonal, the movement and the noise; the men are vertical and static by comparison. Gericault's charging officer is the clearest case on this page, and The Return of the Crusader does the same job at walking pace. St. George and the Dragon belongs to the same family, since the rider, the lance and the animal form a single line pointing at the monster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is also where structure stops being decorative and becomes the whole difference between a good picture and a bad one. At full gallop a horse has all four feet off the ground at one point in the stride, which painters did not know for certain until photography proved it, and pre-photographic battle scenes show the legs in positions no horse ever adopts. That is not a mistake to correct in a reproduction. It is part of the record of the image, and the studio copies what the painter painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe modern horse: color over anatomy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the twentieth century the argument had changed. Franz Marc kept the shape and threw away the natural color, and his tower of blue horses is not a study from life at all; it is an attempt at what a horse feels like. Kandinsky went further in The Blue Rider, where the beast is a few strokes and the whole picture is movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdgar Degas belongs in this story too. Degas was a French Impressionist artist famous for his pastel drawings and oil paintings, and his racing and stable subjects sit exactly between the old anatomical tradition and the new interest in a body caught mid-action. If you want the horse as a modern image rather than a Georgian trophy, that is the line to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGericault, Delacroix and the Romantic horse\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe French Romantics used the horse harder than anyone. Theodore Gericault, who lived from 1791 to 1824, was a French Romantic painter and lithographer, and his Raft of the Medusa of 1818 and 1819, completed when he was 27, has become an icon of French Romanticism. At 491 by 716 cm it is an over life-size painting, and he chose that large-scale uncommissioned work to launch his career, using a subject that had already generated widespread public interest. The same appetite for scale and drama drives the Charging Hussar: the horse is doing the shouting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEugene Delacroix belongs beside him. Delacroix was a French Romantic artist regarded as the leader of the French Romantic school, and between the two of them the animal stopped being a piece of furniture in a portrait and became the engine of the picture. That shift happened in France, in the first thirty years of the nineteenth century, and everything painted after it in this collection is downstream of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is worth knowing how large those originals were, because the size of a reproduction is a decision you make and the size of the original was a decision the painter made. A canvas built at 491 by 716 cm was meant to overwhelm a room at the Salon. Nobody is asking you to hang that, but the composition was designed for distance, which is why the same picture at a small scale feels cramped and at a large scale feels correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWorking horses, ploughs and the stable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot every horse in art is a hero. Much of this page is ordinary labor: a plough team at rest, a cart in a lane, a stable in the morning. William Shayer's The Ploughman's Rest is the clearest example, and it is a useful corrective to the equestrian tradition, since for most of the last thousand years this was a machine that ate hay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose pictures behave differently on a wall. A ceremonial subject is vertical, frontal and formal; a working one is horizontal, seen from the side, and it sits comfortably in a kitchen or a hallway where a rearing officer would look absurd. The English artists were especially good at this, and Thomas Gainsborough's generation put the working beast into the landscape without turning it into a monument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorse racing arrived late as a subject and it is the one modern strand here: Thoroughbred with Jockey up is the single race subject on the page, and the race itself, with its jockeys, its silks and its crowds, is a nineteenth and twentieth century interest rather than an old one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScale, sculpture and the horse in three dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe horse is the most sculpted creature in the world as well as the most painted, and the two traditions feed each other. Artists borrowed poses from equestrian bronzes, and sculptors borrowed the light and the modeling back, so the two sets of sculptures and canvases grew together. That is why a good horse painting often carries real weight, and it is why a flat or poorly modeled copy fails so obviously: the eye knows what half a ton of muscle looks like even when it has never met any.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichelangelo, a sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance whose work was inspired by models from classical antiquity, is the connection most often drawn between the two disciplines, and the classical models he used included this animal. Amedeo Modigliani, who exhibited highly stylized sculptures before he settled into painting, is a much later example of the same crossing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePeriods and where to look\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarly Renaissance\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the animal is still being worked out as a geometric problem.

This is the great age of the horse in painting, in France above all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRealism and the 19th century\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the working animal and the racehorse both arrive, and where the anatomy finally gets settled by photography.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-Impressionism and the 20th century\u003c\/strong\u003e, where color replaces structure. Franz Marc is the clearest case, and the Blaue Reiter years in Germany are where the horse becomes a color problem rather than a life study.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAnatomy, George Stubbs and the science of the subject\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Stubbs is the name that comes up first in almost every search for this subject, and the reason is that he treated the subject as a scientific problem rather than a decorative one. The Stubbs group in this catalog runs to 52 pieces, which makes it the largest single body of work here for the subject, and it is the right place to start if what you want is structure rather than drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat changed with that generation was method. Before it, a painter learned the animal from other paintings, which is how errors were copied forward for three hundred years. After it, artists studied the skeleton and the muscle directly, and the difference shows up at once in the shoulder and the hindquarters. Many buyers who think they prefer a particular period are actually responding to this: they are responding to pictures made after the structure was understood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other consequence is that the subject became a specialism with a market. An artist who could do horses well could make a living entirely from owners, trainers and the military, in England, in France and later in the United States, and the race for commissions produced a great deal of very good painting and a great deal of repetition. A page like this contains both, and the names worth following are the ones who kept looking at the world instead of at their own earlier work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRiders, knights and the horse in myth\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA third of this page is not about horses at all, strictly speaking. It is about riders. The knight at the crossroads, the crusader coming home, the messenger on the road, Saint George with his lance: in each of those the horse is the vehicle for a story that would not work on foot. Viktor Vasnetsov and Nicholas Roerich both built whole careers on that idea in Russia, and the pictures have a stillness the Western battle scenes never manage, because the rider has stopped rather than charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMythology adds the rest. Arion on a sea horse, Bacchante on a panther, centaurs, winged horses: the classical world is full of hybrid creatures and European painting inherited all of them. Bouguereau's pair is the clearest case in this catalog, and it is a reminder that this was never purely observational work. Half of it was invented from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want the story rather than the anatomy, look for a single rider in a landscape. Those pictures hang more easily than crowds, they read from any distance, and they do not date the way a military uniform does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a horse painting for a room\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree questions settle it most of the time. Is the picture vertical or horizontal? A rearing ceremonial subject needs height and looks wrong over a sofa; a plough team or a stable scene wants width and looks right there. Is the ground dark or light? Nineteenth century military scenes are often built on a dark smoky ground, the color of a world lit by powder, and they need a warm lamp; the English landscape subjects are pale and want daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd how close will people stand? A head study or a single figure rewards being seen from a meter away, where you can read the coat. A battle scene or a hunt needs three or four meters, because the whole point is the mass of movement, and at close range it becomes a puzzle of limbs. Many people get this wrong and buy the busiest picture on the page for the smallest wall in the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce you have an answer to those three, the period takes care of itself, and you can spend your time on the thing that actually matters, which is whether the horse in question is one you want to look at every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to look for in a horse painting reproduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree places give away a weak copy. Start with the head: the distance from eye to muzzle and the angle of the jaw are what make a horse look like a horse, and a copyist who gets the color right and the head wrong has failed. Then the legs and their joints, because a hock and a knee bend in opposite directions and an error there is visible from across a room. Then the coat, which in a good painting is not brown but a dozen colors laid wet into wet, with the light broken along the barrel of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the approval photo arrives, look at the eye and the near foreleg at full zoom. If those two are right, the rest will be right. That single check has saved more orders on this subject than any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a horse reproduction is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA studio artist works from the museum image in oil, building the shape in the order the original was built: the mass first, then the modeling of the muscle, then the coat and the highlights. Nothing is printed and nothing is transferred. Seven sizes are available with an optional frame, and you approve a photo of the finished canvas before it ships. Free worldwide shipping and 90-day returns apply. Equestrian works and battle scenes are the two subjects where buyers most often go up a size, because a horse at a small scale reads as a pony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the horse sits among the other creatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is worth putting the subject in proportion. Within the wider field the horse takes roughly the same place the portrait takes in figure painting: it is the prestige format, the one with the most conventions and the most money attached, and the one everything else is measured against. Dogs come second, usually inside a portrait. Cattle, sheep, birds and game come third, usually inside a landscape or a still life, and that ranking held for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat hierarchy held across Europe for centuries and it explains the shape of this catalog. There are 700 pieces on this page and 1,819 in the wider group, which means this one subject accounts for more than a third of that whole group. No other creature comes close, in this catalog or in the world of nineteenth century painting that produced most of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA last point on provenance and versions, since it affects what you order.
