Painting Description
"The Small Horse" (German: "Das kleine Pferd") is a copper engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1505. As one of Dürer's celebrated engravings, the work exemplifies his mastery of the medium and his keen interest in the natural world, particularly in the accurate depiction of animals. The piece measures approximately 16.5 cm × 11.6 cm and is part of a series of engravings that showcase Dürer's skill in rendering a variety of subjects, including religious themes, allegories, and portraiture.
In "The Small Horse," Dürer presents the image of a delicately proportioned horse standing in profile, set against a relatively plain background that contrasts with the intricate detailing of the horse's musculature and mane. The horse's pose and the elegance of its form suggest an idealized representation, in line with the classical tradition of depicting the horse as a symbol of nobility and grace. The engraving reflects Dürer's studies of Italian art and his interest in the principles of proportion, which he explored in his theoretical works on human and animal anatomy.
The artwork is notable for its fine lines and the use of hatching and cross-hatching to achieve a sense of depth and volume, demonstrating Dürer's technical prowess and his ability to convey texture and light through the medium of engraving. "The Small Horse" is often discussed in the context of Dürer's broader oeuvre, which includes other renowned animal studies such as "The Large Horse" and "The Rhinoceros."
"The Small Horse" is held in various museum collections and has been widely reproduced, reflecting its enduring appeal and significance in the history of art. The engraving continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of Dürer's contribution to the development of printmaking in Europe.
