Salvete Omnes,
so the fever of our US elections (Nov 5.) slowly has bee going down.
Now we would like to see the peace process in Europe and Middle East to start at full gallop, wouldn't we? .
And this afternoon let me share this little corralled gallery of works by John Alexander Harrington Bird (1846-1935/6).
Harrington Bird was a British painter and illustrator, also known for this depictions of Orientalist-in-style Arabian horse scenes.
Harrington Bird studied at the Royal Academy in London, went to Montreal, British Canada, and worked and exhibited there until returning to London in 1885. He exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists on Suffolk Street in London.
His work was popularized through many prints published after his paintings.
He painted the famous Skowronek, Polish Arabian stallion that was not a racehorse but a sire, - here the image of this painting from Invaluable auction site .
From Christies - Grey and bay Arabians with a groom -
.
some of his illustrations from Archive world library collections.
Enjoy
Valete
