Wild horses in the Outer Banks 🐎 The Americas: The Atlantic Coast

These islands are home to wild horses. They live a perilous life, braving tides and strong currents. Legend has it their ancestors were marooned here when the ships of conquistadors were wrecked on these shores.

Horses I’d buy if I ever won the lottery and could just have what ever I wanted (on the search for one specific horse).

Equestrian Portrait of King George II

Artist: Joseph Highmore (English, 1692–1780)

Date: c.1743–1745

Medium: Oil paint on canvas

Collection: TATE Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

Highmore may have painted this small equestrian portrait of George II as a preliminary design for a life-size portrait that remained unexecuted. Several celebrated life-size equestrian portraits, notably those of Anthony Van Dyck and Titian, influence the composition. Although the King wears a fanciful suit of ‘antique’ armour, the portrait may allude specifically to his actual role at the battle of Dettingen in 1743, when he led British and Hanoverian troops to victory against the French. Cosmo, 3rd Duke of Gordon, one of the king’s staunchest allies, probably commissioned the picture.
