ArtScapades will be exploring the most famous horse paintings throughout art history. ArtScapades will look at the different roles of horses in art, and discuss the allure horses have had for artists beginning at the dawn of time, and moving through to modern and contemporary images. Included in this lecture are works by George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, Lucien Freud, and many more.
