Painting Description
"Amazzone a Cavallo con Levriero" (translated as "Lady on Horseback with Greyhound") is a painting by the French artist Alfred De Dreux (1810–1860), known for his equestrian portraits and scenes. This work is a prime example of De Dreux's fascination with the nobility and elegance of horses, as well as his skill in capturing the relationship between the rider and the animal. The painting depicts a high-society lady, an 'amazzone' in Italian, which refers to a woman rider dressed in a riding habit, seated confidently on a horse, accompanied by a greyhound, a breed often associated with aristocracy and grace.
Alfred De Dreux, a Parisian by birth, was a pupil of the famous Théodore Géricault and later became a court painter for the French royal family, including King Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III. His works were highly sought after by European aristocrats for whom he painted numerous portraits, often including their horses. "Amazzone a Cavallo con Levriero" is characteristic of De Dreux's style, which combines dynamic composition with a romanticized portrayal of his subjects, reflecting the social ideals and tastes of his time.
The painting is notable for its attention to detail, from the intricate design of the riding habit and the polished appearance of the horse to the serene landscape in the background. De Dreux's ability to render textures, from the softness of the greyhound's coat to the sheen of the horse's skin and the rich fabrics of the rider's attire, demonstrates his mastery of oil painting techniques.
"Amazzone a Cavallo con Levriero" remains an important work within Alfred De Dreux's oeuvre, encapsulating the romantic spirit of the 19th-century equestrian art movement. It continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and as a window into the cultural and social milieu of the period. The painting is held in private collections and has been displayed in various art exhibitions that explore the themes of equestrianism and the representation of animals in art.
