Horse from Hanover is a 1822 by Théodore Géricault, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a white horse with a patterned blanket standing still in a dim stable. A man in a dark coat holds the reins, looking away. The walls behind them are rough wood, and the lighting is soft, making shadows deep. The horse’s name is written below: *"Cheval d’Hanovre"*—meaning "Horse from Hanover." This was likely a prized animal, drawn with careful detail. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and drama in their work.
Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault (French: ; 26 September 1791 – 26 January 1824) was a French painter and lithographer.
