R. Muraro - Horses

The depiction of animals in art has ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era. In this painting, the artist R. Muraro focuses his research on the figure of the horse. A noble animal, a symbol of beauty and harmony, the horse has repeatedly been a prominent subject in the history of art. Since the fourteenth century, its presence has always been obligatory in battle scenes or equestrian monuments, and for painters, representing it with anatomical precision and naturalistic rendering has always been a challenge.

This work by Muraro was composed with great elegance of design and color. The painting is a perfect example of sober and elegant realism. The extraordinary precision of detail is achieved on the canvas with a keen, objective eye, and the glazes of mixed media are used to make the composition fresher and more vibrant. Muraro demonstrates a great sensitivity in enhancing formal values. The three horses' volumes are perfectly delineated and naturally inserted into the landscape. Furthermore, there is a strong sense of balance and harmony in the composition, in a classical style. Even in monochrome, the work is aesthetically striking.

Both in his choice of subjects and his execution method, we can say that R. Muraro is an artist who moves within the realm of classical and figurative production, demonstrating a solid academic background in the naturalistic rendering of subjects, in the exaltation of their formal values, and in the balance of the composition.
