Band of horses is a 1775 oil by Francesco Giuseppe Casanova, a Rococo painting work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a group of horses in a landscape setting. The horses are shown in various poses, with some standing and others running or grazing. The background features trees, bushes, and a cloudy sky. The horses are rendered in detail, with visible muscles and textures. The artist has used a range of colors, from earthy tones to whites and grays, to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the horses are about to gallop off the canvas. To learn more about the techniques used in this painting, explore the world of glazing.
