On the Southern Plains
1907
Dust kicks up into the hazy sky as a regiment of blue-uniformed cavalry charges across the sun-baked prairie in this thrilling scene. Frederic Remington, the ultimate chronicler of the American Old West, captures the chaotic energy and thundering momentum of the military charge with loose, energetic brushstrokes. Painted in 1907, this piece reflects the fading era of the frontier, romanticizing the rugged life of soldiers and scouts that captivated the American imagination at the turn of the century.
