Horses have been a huge part of many of our world’s cultures for thousands of years, and are a prominent feature of art from all time periods. The equestrian paintings available here showcase our interaction with these creatures, depicting horseback riding in many different artistic styles.
Equestrian art is a great way to display the interests of an avid horseback rider, and can be made to match just about any setting. For example, the painting “Lepa Zena” by Marta Gottfried Wiley would fit right in with modern decor that may not support a more traditional work of art. If the art is going to be a part of a warm, old fashioned decorative scheme, there are plenty of equestrian prints that are set in the 1800’s that will match it nicely.
The colors used in these examples of equestrian artwork are usually congruent with those found in nature. Many of these pieces are also impressive landscape paintings that can be part of a decorative approach embracing the beauty of the natural world. Equestrian photographs are also found in this category, and are popular with those who enjoy the realism of photography.
The equestrian prints and paintings in this category can also be used thematically as part of a larger theme. They would obviously make a sound addition to horse-themed decor, and can be used to accent a rustic environment as well. Many of these art pieces would also fit in with animal art that displays many different members of the animal kingdom.
