Born of the Sea — Camargue Horses

From $450. Click photo for printing options and purchase

The white horses of the Camargue have been running through the surf of the Mediterranean coast of France for thousands of years, and in Born of the Sea they do so with a wildness and joy that makes the mythology surrounding them feel not like legend but like simple observation. Two horses drive directly toward the lens through the breaking surf, the sea exploding around their legs and chests in a cascade of white water and spray that nearly dissolves the horses into the ocean itself — white coat and white foam and white sky merging at the edges into a single luminous field of light and motion. The color palette is of extraordinary purity and beauty: the particular blue-grey of the Mediterranean in cool light, the brilliant white of the horses and the breaking wave, the pale gold of the sand just visible beneath the water — a composition that seems lit from within rather than from above, the horses glowing with a luminosity that speaks to centuries of mythology and the very real magic of these extraordinary animals in their natural element. The Camargue horse is one of the oldest breeds in the world, and one of the very few that still lives in a genuinely semi-wild state — roaming the marshes and beaches of the Rhône delta in herds that have changed little since the time of the Romans — and Born of the Sea captures that ancient, unbroken freedom in a single frame of breathtaking energy and beauty. On ChromaLuxe Metal or Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic, the luminosity and color depth of this image are simply extraordinary — a natural companion to Sea Horse and Between Two Worlds in the coastal equine collection, and one of the most universally beloved and visually spectacular pieces in the entire portfolio. Limited edition of 50.
