How the Horses Died for Their Country at Santiago is a 1900 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a scene of dead horses on the ground, with a man standing in the background. The horses are lying on their sides, with their legs splayed out in different directions. The man is wearing a hat and a long coat, and he appears to be looking down at the horses. In the foreground, there are several objects scattered around, including what appears to be a rifle and a saddle. The background of the painting is dark and shadowy, with trees and bushes visible in the distance. The overall mood of the painting is one of sadness and loss.
