I know there is another thread on this but I'm not sure where; anyway, this is what popped up in art history today, I thought the horses looked neat Guido Reni- Aurora https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/prec/www/course/mythology/0200/404a.jpg Il Guerchino- Aurora http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5phin_lkEG4/TbYwBAbmn0I/AAAAAAAAWoo/cGAYxuM80… Carvaggio- Conversion of St.Paul http://static.artbible.info/large/carav_bekering_saulus.jpg

Wow! Awesome finds CM! I've always loved the Conversion. The artist was so obviously painting from a grullo tobiano. Plus I love the view of the metal shoes on that horse.

The second pic horses look so splash sabino.

Thanks so much for sharing!

I just wish I could drive my horses without harness of any kind or even a bridle, it would save so much money, not to mention time taken harnessing!
The Caravaggio painting I love, but it always amused me that it looked so much like one of my paintings when I was at school (subject matter, not ability!!) when we were told to paint something and I would turn it round so I could include a horse, or horses, or just paint a horse- "Hey, Caravaggio, mate, paint us a picture of the epiphany of Paul, OK??" - damn, thinks Caravaggio, I really wanted to paint that nice horse my handsome new neighbour has........the rest, as they say, is history!

I have a book of equine art from some art museum - I'll see if I can get any pictures. I don't think any are as striking as those, thought!

I have a rather large large LARGE horse art book. Saved up for a long time to get it to LOL. I just laid down to bed, tomorrow I will see about getting some. There are a few I think which people have used to support the idea of Manchado.

;_; Never mind. No idea where it is now that I've moved. I remember it was to large to fit in my book case. Now I'm panicing that I may have left a box behind, since I'm all unpacked and can't seem to find it!

After thanksgiving I will have to renew my search for it. It's a beautiful book. Now, leaving my brine out to cool and passing out for bed before work tomorrow.
