"St Columba's Farewell to the White Horse" is a painting by Alice Boyd, a 19th-century Scottish artist and landowner known for her contributions to Pre-Raphaelite art. The painting is inspired by the legend of Saint Columba, a 6th-century Irish abbot and missionary who played a pivotal role in spreading Christianity in Scotland. According to the legend, Columba had a close bond with a white horse, which is said to have mourned at his death.

Boyd's work captures the poignant moment of farewell between the saint and his loyal companion. The painting is characterized by its rich symbolism and emotional depth, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite movement's emphasis on detail, complex compositions, and themes drawn from literature, mythology, and religion.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is known that Boyd was active as an artist during the mid to late 19th century. Her work was influenced by her interactions with other Pre-Raphaelite artists, whom she hosted at her estate, Penkill Castle. "St Columba's Farewell to the White Horse" is considered an example of Boyd's engagement with the spiritual and mystical themes that were popular among the Pre-Raphaelites.

While the painting itself may not be as widely recognized as the works of Boyd's more famous contemporaries, it represents an important contribution to the understanding of female artists within the Pre-Raphaelite circle. The painting's current location or ownership status is not widely recorded, which may affect the availability of information regarding its provenance and exhibition history.

Alice Boyd's legacy as an artist is intertwined with her role as a patron of the arts and her efforts to support the Pre-Raphaelite movement. "St Columba's Farewell to the White Horse" stands as a testament to her artistic vision and the broader cultural and religious narratives that influenced the art of her time.
