About this work

This painting shows a wild, tangled group of horses and riders in a stormy red field. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, making the shapes look rough and alive. Some horses are rearing up, while others seem to be running or falling, and the riders are barely visible under flapping coats. The colors are bold—deep reds, pale whites, and dark shadows—giving it a chaotic energy. The style feels urgent, like the scene is happening fast. Look up tempera next to see how this paint works.
