Perhaps no horsemen have been painted more than these harbingers of doom (except maybe Don Quixote). They are only mentioned in one book of the Bible (Revelations) and they are not a welcome sight.

A Little About The Boys

This is a doomsday post worthy of Halloween, and all of the works here provide a rather unique & spooky view. Each rider & their mount serves a purpose and possess their own clear identity, along with totems which are generally depicted in the art. (the first painting is a great example of this).

I read somewhere that there are more horses in China than in any other country. Which makes sense when you consider how many people live there, and the fact that many of the Chinese breeds are very old indeed.

Specific Horse Type

I’ve always appreciated Chinese art and it’s lasting power is undeniable, each piece below manages to convey a great deal of the animal’s personality. It’s interesting to see the stout pony-like build of their horses, which is overly caricatured in some while others are an accurate representation of the animals found in China at the time.

Over the past few months I’ve been sharing a rather large horse stamp collection I’ve been gathering. As soon as I think I’ve discovered all of the horse stamps out there I seem to find more (much to my delight). I’ll just keep them coming.

As a lifelong horse lover I’ve always adored drawing & coloring in pictures of horses. Because of this I’ve searched high and low to find great line drawings for young horse lovers to make their very own.

Lot’s of Horses

I’ve got quite a large collection to share still and will be posting about them until I’ve exhausted my stockpile. These are interesting in that they feature horses as transportation.

A few weeks back, I featured some exquisite horse sketches by Pisanello, who was an Italian artist during the early Renaissance. His work was so prolific that I had to separate these sketches into several parts and today it’s part 2.

As I’m focusing energy on unusual horse art I thought I’d drop another horse stamp post. It’s not unusual art per se, but it’s horse art in an unusual place, the mail.

Recently I also shared a collection of equestrian postcards that are interesting and if you haven’t seen the previous stamp posts be sure to check them out as well Pt. 1 | Pt. 2 | Pt. 3 | Pt. 4

Here are some more colorful & interesting stamps with an equine theme & it’s by no means the end of my collection.

As I’ve been delving into the strange & unusual world of horse art I’ve been sharing collections as I go along. It was an interesting summer and I’m looking forward to an even more artistic autumn & winter season.

Artistic Challenge

Let’s face it, there are only so many ways you can represent a horse in art…however there are an almost unlimited number of art forms & techniques that give each piece it’s own panache. For each piece I tried to track down the artist & it’s current location (if anyone is privy to info about a piece, please leave it for me in the comments below so I can add it).
