Painting Description
"Heads of Horses" is a renowned drawing from the Vallardi Album, attributed to the Italian painter and medallist Antonio Pisano, commonly known as Pisanello (c. 1395 – c. 1455). This artwork is a testament to Pisanello's mastery in the portrayal of animals, particularly horses, which were a frequent subject in his oeuvre. The Vallardi Album, a collection of drawings acquired by the collector Giuseppe Vallardi, contains numerous studies of horses, showcasing Pisanello's keen observation and detailed rendering of equine anatomy and expressions.
The drawing "Heads of Horses" is particularly notable for its lifelike depiction of the animals, capturing their grace and power. Pisanello's work reflects the artist's deep understanding of the musculature and structure of horse heads, as well as his ability to convey their individual character and demeanor. This piece is a fine example of the artist's skill in using line and shading to create a sense of volume and texture, a technique that has earned him recognition as one of the foremost draftsmen of the early Renaissance.
Pisanello's interest in the natural world, combined with his courtly commissions, often led him to include horses in his allegorical and chivalric paintings. "Heads of Horses" not only serves as a study for his larger works but also stands alone as a significant contribution to the art of animal portraiture during the Renaissance. The drawing is held in high esteem by art historians and is often cited as an important work in the study of Renaissance art and the development of realistic animal representation.
The Vallardi Album, including "Heads of Horses," is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance.
