Salvete Omnes,
continuing with the horse of Johann Georg Pforr, today we can look at his English horses
These images most likely were completed during the period of Anglomania (the fascination with the English blood horse, horseracing and English trainers, grooms and jockeys) was sweeping continental Europe
his oil painting conveys this sporty Blood horse fahionista era
gorgeous bay and bay-roan of the groom, with a black cart horse in the background |
and the water media
Bay horse looks much like the Turkoman horses of Central Asia |
sporting a running martingale |
Now docking of the tail was something else, and it is good we no longer keep this custom
Valete
