Friesian Sunset

From $450. Click photo for printing options and purchase

Friesian Sunset is an image that needs no explanation and brooks no argument — a Friesian stallion silhouetted in pure black against a Washington coast sunset of such incandescent, all-consuming orange that the sky and the wet sand and the retreating tide have all become the same single field of molten light. The horse is mid-movement, one foreleg raised, the long mane and tail streaming in the coastal wind as dark ribbons against the burning sky, the entire form reduced to silhouette and yet completely readable in every detail — the powerful crested neck, the feathered legs, the extravagant mane that identifies the breed at any distance and in any light. The Washington coast at sunset provides a backdrop of almost unreal beauty, the low tide flats reflecting the sky in a mirror of orange and gold that doubles the light and makes the horse appear to stand at the center of something genuinely elemental — not simply a beach at the end of the day but a world briefly on fire, with one dark and magnificent form at its heart. There is a timelessness and a mythic quality to this image that transcends the equine genre entirely — it belongs to the tradition of the great sunset landscape and the great equine portrait simultaneously, and succeeds completely at both. On ChromaLuxe Metal, the luminosity and color depth of the orange sunset against the absolute black of the horse's silhouette produce a visual impact that is simply breathtaking — one of the most dramatic and immediately commanding statement pieces in the entire collection, and a natural companion to Black Tide in the Friesian coastal series. Limited edition of 50.
