If the horse occupies such a special place in the history of Art and painting, it is because for centuries it was the only means of transport for man long before the invention of the automobile. Horses were therefore very often represented with their illustrious mounts in the paintings of the past. But more than a common means of transport, the horse is also a magnificent animal endowed with a great sensitivity that the artist tries to transcribe on his canvas ... Arabian thoroughbred, stallion, percheron, pony ... the kind Equine offers painters a beautiful palette of models to represent these animals with their hair, their hooves, their nostrils so characteristic. "Tête de cheval blanc" by Théodore Géricault, "Jockeys in front of the tribune" by Edgar Degas. "Horse fair" by Rosa Bonheur… So many works which have been able to transcribe the beauty of horses in painting.

Origins and History
Horses have been a popular subject in art for thousands of years. The earliest known horse paintings date back to prehistoric times and were found in caves throughout Europe. During the Renaissance period, horses were often depicted in paintings and sculptures as a symbol of wealth and power. In the 18th and 19th centuries, artists such as George Stubbs and Edgar Degas became well-known for their equestrian paintings. Contemporary horse paintings, which began to emerge in the 20th century, feature a range of styles and techniques, from realistic to abstract. Some artists focus on the beauty and grace of the horse, while others explore themes such as freedom, wildness, and the relationship between humans and animals.
