Collection: HORSE STUDIES

From the Crusades and Genghis Khan to Columbus and the Wild West, horses have featured in human history every step of the way, universally revered for their speed, power, grace, intelligence, and nobility. They are not merely animals to us: they are somehow a version of our better selves, regardless of whether we have mounted one, or even touched one.  Artists today are just as inspired by horses as their predecessors were. Illustrated here are recent images that capture horses in various modes to remind us of how elegantly people adorn their beloved horses. The artists represented here are sustaining mankind’s timeless love of a unique creature that will — literally — never go out of style
