A huge (17.5 inches tall) and magnificent volume celebrating the horse in art. Rachel Barnes traces the changes and development of the horse in art – as a subject of anatomical scrutiny, as an embodiment of strength and beauty, to its role as a creature in myth and legend or as a symbol of royal power while her husband, the equestrian, Simon Barnes tells the story of each painting from a horseman’s perspective, vividly setting out the relationship between man and horse through the ages.
