Twee paarden in de weide bij een hek (easel painting (painting by form); Paulus Potter (Enkhuizen 1625 - Amsterdam 1654); 1649; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); SK-C-205; RM001.collect.5096) | |
Note: Paulus Potter was the first artist in Holland to feature cattle in his paintings outside the context of a biblical, mythological or anecdotal story. In this painting, horses are the main subject. The animals are painted with remarkable realism, revealing the artist's skill in rendering skin and hair and his eye for the various poses. The horses appear to be standing at a raised part of the meadow, where the mane and tail of the darker of the two has caught the wind. The mouth is slightly open and the nostrils dilated. The white steed also conveys a feeling of power. An essential element in this composition is the gate. It leads from the high foreground to the lower ground further distant, simultaneously providing a conspicuous space for Potter's signature. He inscribed the painting with a pontifical 'Paulus Potter f 1649'. | |
