Salvete Omnes,
while perusing the wiki commons I come across this Baroque Netherlandish painter Willem van Nieulandt from Antwerp.
Christmas is but a mere 30 odd days away, so first his painting showing Adoration of Magi -
then a biblical theme - Jacob Returning to Caanan - and the detail from this work showing quite contemporary to the artist horse, its saddle and tack, a very lare curb-bit.
A Landscape with amorous shepherds - lots of cows, and a peasant cart in the background (too bad no higher resolution availble)
And a solitary horse from the painting showing ancient Rome, with the temple of Vesta and tomb of Porsenna
Master van Nieulandt was a prolific draughtsman and engraver (and a poet-writer), non-horse but a very amazing engraving
