About the piece

Painted by Peter Paul Rubens around 1626, this work showcases the artist's unparalleled ability to capture dynamic animal energy and texture. The luminous white horse, depicted in mid-trot with a billowing, wavy mane, creates a striking contrast against the moody, dark skies and the distant silhouette of a city at twilight, characteristic of the Flemish Baroque style.
