Description from the seller
Oil on canvas
José Cabrera
In the Lineage of Shadow and Gold, José Cabrera consolidates his mastery of the equestrian portrait through a composition of great sobriety and technical refinement. Executed in oil on canvas, the work presents a horse in profile, captured in a moment of contained calm that conveys nobility, discipline, and character.
The dark background, rendered in deep gradations, acts as a silent curtain that enhances the animal's anatomy. The directed lighting precisely models the neck and head, generating an almost sculptural volume. The transition of warm lights on the brown fur evidences a solid mastery of chiaroscuro and of the material handling of oil paint.
Special attention should be paid to the details of the harness, where the golden accents provide a subtle contrast and elevate the overall elegance of the composition. The horse's serene demeanor, with its steady and attentive gaze, evokes tradition, lineage, and inner strength.
This work dialogues with the great tradition of the classical animal portrait, but from a contemporary sensibility that makes it perfectly adaptable to today’s private collections. Ideal for collectors of figurative painting, equestrian-themed art, or contemporary classical art, as well as for spaces seeking a piece with a distinguished and timeless presence.
