Cavalier Galopant (Galloping Horseman) is a 1866 ink by Odilon Redon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a dramatic landscape with a horseman in the foreground, riding towards the left. The horse is in mid-gallop, and the rider is leaning forward, holding the reins. In the background, there are rolling hills and a cloudy sky. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The horse and rider are depicted in a dynamic pose, conveying a sense of movement and energy. The background is more subdued, with gentle hills and a soft, cloudy sky. The use of etching as a medium adds a sense of depth and texture to the painting. The artist's attention to detail and ability to capture movement and energy make this painting a compelling work.
