Framed Horse Art

Framed horse posters depict the beautiful animal roaming freely on seemingly endless pastures, or running through canyons as in John Leone’s artwork. The images celebrating the beauty of wild horses are impressive, but slightly misleading as the feral populations are not exactly wild horses. Many of these magnificent creatures were actually domesticated and released back into the wild, where they have returned to their ancestral nature and virtually severed the link connecting them to humans.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are the framed horse prints depicting the dynamic duo made of horses and the humans riding them. Some of these images revolve around cowboys trying to manage large herds of cattle, other focus on soldiers riding their horses into battle. Albrecht Durer had his own take on horses and those who are in the market for classic masterpieces will surely appreciate his drawing named The Knight, the Death and the Devil. An equally beautiful drawing belongs to Leonardo da Vinci and goes by the name of Study of Horse and Rider, crafted more than half a millennium ago.
