Summary |
Of all man's fellow creatures, the horse, with its inherent gracefulness, intelligence, speed, resilience and courage, has inspired the strongest feelings of empathy - an affinity reflected in more than 30,000 years of artistic representation in both East and West. This stunningly illustrated history of the horse in art, written by a specialist in both art and horsemanship, documents the creative journey from prehistoric cave painting to the formidable war horses of Paolo Uccello, the Thoroughbred portraits of George Stubbs, the sensitive, enigmatic prints of Elisabeth Frink and beyond. |
