"Chilean Riders, c.1835-36" is a notable work by the German painter Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802–1858), who is renowned for his artistic documentation of life and landscapes in Latin America during the early 19th century. This painting is part of Rugendas' extensive body of work that captures the essence of the people, customs, and natural beauty of the regions he visited during his travels.

The painting depicts a group of Chilean huasos, or horsemen, demonstrating their riding skills and the unique equestrian culture of Chile. The huasos are shown wearing traditional attire, which includes the chamanto, a poncho-like garment, and wide-brimmed chupalla hats, as they perform what appears to be a rodeo or a similar display of horsemanship. The dynamic composition and attention to detail in the riders' expressions and attire reflect Rugendas' commitment to ethnographic accuracy and his fascination with the local customs of the places he visited.

Rugendas' journey to Chile was part of a larger expedition through South America, which was inspired by the works of earlier explorer-artists such as Alexander von Humboldt. Rugendas aimed to capture the continent's diverse cultures and landscapes, and his works, including "Chilean Riders," were later published in his travelogue "Voyage Pittoresque dans le Brésil" ("Picturesque Voyage to Brazil"), despite the title, the book includes scenes from his travels outside Brazil as well.

"Chilean Riders" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value. It provides a visual record of Chilean society and culture during a period of significant change and development in the country's history. The painting is emblematic of Rugendas' broader impact on the understanding of Latin American culture and his influence on both art and ethnography.

The work is held in high esteem for its contribution to the visual history of Chile and is often referenced in discussions of Rugendas' impact on the depiction of Latin American life in the 19th century. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the period and for those interested in the cross-section of art and anthropology.
