EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fighting Horses, 1808" by James Ward is a stunning representation of the power and intensity of these majestic creatures. Painted with oil on canvas, Ward skillfully captures the raw energy and aggression as two horses engage in a fierce battle. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the veins pulsating on their muscular necks to the intense expressions on their faces. The viewer can almost feel the tension in the air as these magnificent animals lock eyes and prepare for combat. Ward's expertise as a painter shines through in this artwork, showcasing his ability to bring life and movement onto a static canvas. The composition draws us into the heart of the action, making us feel like spectators at an ancient tournament where only strength and determination prevail. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of nature's untamed beauty and its capacity for both harmony and conflict. These fighting horses symbolize not only physical competition but also serve as metaphors for human struggles against adversity. Displayed proudly at National Museum Wales, this painting stands as a testament to James Ward's artistic brilliance and his profound understanding of animal behavior. It serves as an invitation for viewers to contemplate our own battles within ourselves or society while appreciating the remarkable artistry that brings it all to life.
