Painting Description
"Pharaoh's Horses" is a renowned oil painting by the British artist John Frederick Herring Sr. (1795–1865), who was a prominent painter of horses and sporting art in the 19th century. The painting, created in 1848, depicts three Arabian horses' heads in profile, aligned in a dynamic and descending diagonal composition. This work is one of Herring's most famous and has been widely reproduced, particularly in the form of engravings, which contributed to its popularity during the Victorian era and beyond.
The title "Pharaoh's Horses" is believed to be a reference to the biblical account of the Exodus, where the horses of the Egyptian Pharaoh are engulfed by the Red Sea. Herring's portrayal, however, does not depict a scene of chaos but rather captures the beauty and nobility of the horses, which are shown with great anatomical accuracy and expressive detail. The horses are adorned with ornate bridles that reflect the artist's attention to detail and his ability to render textures.
John Frederick Herring Sr. was highly regarded for his equine art and was patronized by English aristocracy, including Queen Victoria, who commissioned several works from him. "Pharaoh's Horses" stands out as a testament to Herring's skill in capturing the essence of the horse, a subject that fascinated him throughout his career. The painting remains an iconic example of equine art and continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its evocative representation of the majesty of horses.
