The horse in art

Author:	John Baskett
Publisher:	New Haven [Conn.] : Yale University Press, ©2006.
Edition/Format:	Print book : English : Rev. and expanded edView all editions and formats
Summary:	"John Baskett begins with the horse in ancient civilizations, including masterpieces from Asia, and then discusses the horse in the Middle Ages, in which the animal was bred for warfare and agriculture and is represented in such scenes as the "Byaeaux Tapestry." Renaissance artists, whose interest in horses was as great as that for the human form, are then discussed - evidence of which is shown in the skillful drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. The seventeenth century brought beautiful examples of naturalism from such masters as Ppeter Paul Rubens, while George Stubbs became the premier horse painter in eighteenth-century England. Works by nineteenth-century American artists George Catlin and Frederic Remington are also explored, along with exquisite miniatures of natural scenes produced by Persian and Mughal painters from varying periods." "A new edition of a long out of print gem, The Horse in Art brings artistic representation of the horse to life, with additional illustrations, a new chapter on the twentieth century, and the inclusion of biographies of the artist featured in the book. With beautiful color reproductions and an accessible text, this book is a unique and indispensable guide to the changing cultural perspectives, artistic styles, and symbolic interpretations associated with its timeless and much-loved subject."--Jacket.  Read more...
