EDITORS COMMENTS
Carle Vernet's captivating lithograph, "Cuirassier retenant son cheval qui se cabre," created in or after 1816, offers a striking depiction of a French cavalryman skillfully holding back his rearing horse. The soldier, dressed in a cuirassier uniform, is shown in profile, his strong hand firmly grasping the horse's bridle as the animal's powerful hind legs buck and thrust, threatening to unseat him. The grey and brown hues of the lithograph on wove paper evoke a sense of raw energy and tension, transporting the viewer to the heart of the action. This historic scene, a common occurrence during military training and warfare, is a testament to the close bond between soldier and horse, as well as the courage and discipline required to maintain control in the face of danger. The intricate details of the soldier's uniform, the horse's muscular form, and the textured background add depth and authenticity to the illustration. As a prominent figure in French art during the 19th century, Carle Vernet, also known as Antoine Charles Horace Vernet, was renowned for his mastery of equestrian and military themes. His lithographs, which often featured dynamic scenes of action and adventure, were widely exhibited and collected throughout Europe. Today, "Cuirassier retenant son cheval qui se cabre" remains an enduring testament to the artist's skill and the rich cultural heritage of the period.
