울음소리 내는 말
1652
Paulus Potter, the Dutch master of animal portraits, captures a dramatic moment here with a dark stallion letting out a mighty neigh. While the foreground horse strikes a pose with its mouth open and mane flowing, a calmer, lighter horse watches from the background. Set against a serene riverbank with a distant town skyline, this 1652 etching shows off Potter's incredible skill at rendering animal anatomy and texture, a hallmark of the Dutch Baroque period. Potter was only about 28 when he died, but he left behind a legacy of incredibly lifelike animal studies.
