Riassunto

This 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.
This comprehensive study combines the history of the horse in art and culture with the story of equine evolution from the stocky primitive to today's elegant Thoroughbred. It offers a compelling read for both horse lovers and anyone interested in equine art.
