Framed Equestrian Artwork
Horses are another one of Man's Best Friends next to dogs. They are friendly animals that we ride, and use for carrying goods, and for watching because horses are simply so beautiful.
They are very large, and have shiny fur, as well as a long mane. Horses are immortalized in framed equestrian art.
An old example of framed equestrian art is “Girl Riding Side-Saddle” by Heywood Hardy. It appears to be from the 1700's based on the girls' clothes, which are of a three-cornered hat, vest, and a dress that was the fashion of the day. It is very detailed as a piece of fine art. The weather in the painting is fall, and the viewer can hear the crackle of the leaves underfoot. The girl appears to be looking at something, but it is not known what exactly it is. It is an excellent painting for history lovers.
Another painting for history lovers is the framed equestrian paining of “Equestrian Portrait of Don Gaspar de Guzman” by Diego Valesquez. Equestrian portraits were once a painting those nobles would commission someone to do for them hundreds of years ago, and were quite common in Europe. This one in particular has a grandiose feel; he is on a horse, wearing armour and carrying a weapon, while in the yonder is wide-open landscape that is ready to be conquered.
A framed equestrian historical painting that shows the lifestyle of nobles in the early 1800's is “The Hevthorp Hunt” by Stephen Pearce. It also detailed as a piece of fine art. It shows a man and a woman sitting on their horses, with many hunting dogs around them. The man has an air of arrogance, and is perhaps a noble. People who enjoy hunting might find this painting interesting.
