The Large Horse is a 1505 by Albrecht Dürer, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a horse standing in front of a column, with a man in armor holding a spear and a flag behind it. The horse is white, and the man is wearing a helmet with a feather on top. The horse is the main focus of the painting, and it's depicted in a very detailed and realistic way. The artist has used shading and texture to give the horse a sense of depth and volume.
