Origins and History
Horse artworks have a long and rich history that dates back to the prehistoric era. Cave paintings depicting horses have been found in Lascaux, France, and the Altamira cave in Spain. During the Renaissance, horses were a popular subject for artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Durer. In the 18th and 19th centuries, horse paintings became popular among the English aristocracy and upper class. The 20th century saw a shift towards more contemporary and abstract styles, with artists such as Pablo Picasso and Franz Marc incorporating horses into their work. Today, horse artworks continue to evolve and inspire artists, with themes ranging from the majestic beauty of the animal to its relationship with humans and nature.

Notable original contemporary Horse artworks
One of the most famous contemporary Horse artworks is "The Horse" by Deborah Butterfield, created in 1989. This life-size sculpture is made entirely of found objects, such as scrap metal and driftwood, which give the piece a rustic and organic feel.
Another well-known Horse artwork is "Running Horses" by Xu Beihong, created in 1953. This ink painting depicts a group of horses running through a field, and has become an iconic representation of Chinese art.
"Mustangs" by Robert Lougheed is a stunning oil painting created in 1967. The piece depicts a group of wild horses galloping through a desert landscape, with the vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes capturing the spirit and energy of the animals.
In 1994, Damien Hirst created "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living," a controversial artwork featuring a preserved shark suspended in formaldehyde. While not strictly a Horse artwork, the piece has become a symbol of the provocative and boundary-pushing nature of contemporary art.
Finally, "Equus Caballus" by Nic Fiddian-Green is a monumental bronze sculpture of a horse’s head, created in 2007. The piece stands over 30 feet tall and has become a beloved landmark in London’s Hyde Park, inspiring awe and wonder in all who see it.
