Framed Equestrian Prints

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.
