The Flight
1895
Frederic Remington captures the sheer adrenaline of the American frontier in this chaotic scene of escape. A rider on a grey horse gallops desperately toward the viewer, clutching a revolver and rifle, while distant figures on horseback kick up dust in a fierce pursuit. As a master of American Realism, Remington documented the 'Wild West' with gritty authenticity, preserving the drama of a vanishing era just before the 20th century began.
