About the Item
Oil on canvas horizontal painting by painter Lewis John Shonborn (1852-1931) depicting horses clearing the hurdle. This captivating horizontal oil painting on canvas, created by artist Lewis John Shonborn (1852-1931), showcases his signature equestrian subject matter. Shonborn, an Iowa native who later trained in France, became celebrated for his horse-themed artworks, and this piece is a prime example of his talent.
Titled "Horses Clearing the Hurdle," the painting features three majestic horses - two rich brown steeds and one regal grey - mid-flight over a jumping hurdle, skillfully ridden by their respective jockeys. Shonborn's understanding of equine anatomy, gleaned from his studies at veterinary school, is evident in the realistic portrayal of the horses' muscular structures and dynamic movement.
The background is a gently sweeping sky in nuanced hues of blue, scattered with subtly rendered clouds, providing a tranquil backdrop to the high-energy action at the forefront. Shonborn's use of subtle colors enhances the overall sense of harmony within the composition.
Set within a simple wooden frame, this exquisite artwork manages to captivate the viewer without the need for elaborate ornamentation. A proud signature at the lower left of the painting confirms its authenticity: "Lewis J Shonborn."
This Shonborn painting is not only a testament to his mastery over equestrian art but also a vibrant slice of life from a bygone era, capturing the thrill and grace of horse-jumping in a way that remains timeless. For art collectors, equestrian enthusiasts, and lovers of historic art, this painting offers a chance to own a piece of a storied artist's legacy.
