Salve,
I admire the art created by one of the greatest painters of all times, Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. I admire his work more than that of Rembrandt.
I guess it is the matter of taste, as the saying goes de gustibus et coloribus non disputandum est..Great drawing of a Baroque horse, saddled and bridled with a curb-bit, but curiously no stirrups nor reins.
Their bridles are mostly with long-shanked curb-bits
enjoy
by the way - a beautiful representation of a Ottoman Turkish costume in this portrait, and fantastic Persian (?) carpet beneath gentleman's feet
...
ps
images from Wikimedia Commons - the first painting is titled Saint George and the Dragon, painted 1606-1610.

Hi dear Dariusz, in the Peter Rubens' works one can see influence of that famous Leonardo's Fight of giants, what he copied. The other fun, I discovered, is the horses hairdo- showing some influence of the Baroque epoch;-))The hairs curled like in those wigs.
