Horses in art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horses have appeared in works of art throughout history, although less frequently in modern times since the horse is no longer significant either as a mode of transportation or as an implement of war. Most modern representations are of famous racehorses or as artwork associated with horse racing.
Horses usually appear in artworks singly, as a mount for an important person, or in fours, coupled to a chariot.
For a large and complex painting in which a horse is the central dramatic figure, see Guernica (painting).
