About Large Lenggries Horses

“Large Lenggries Horses,” an oil on canvas painting created by Franz Marc in 1908, is a notable piece categorized under the Post-Impressionism movement. The artwork, which measures 104.78 x 206.06 cm, resides in a private collection and belongs to the genre of animal painting.

The artwork depicts a dynamic assembly of horses rendered in warm hues of orange, yellow, and traces of subdued gray and blue. The horses, bunched together, display an energetic and somewhat abstract form, emphasizing their robust physiques and fluidity of movement. Franz Marc’s characteristic brushwork captures the luminosity and natural essence of the scene, suffused with an ethereal light. The background, painted with soft, blending strokes, forms a harmonious yet minimalistic setting which complements the dominant presence of the horses. The overall composition provides a rhythmic and vivid portrayal, embodying the essence of the Post-Impressionist style with a unique focus on color and composition to evoke emotion and atmosphere.
