Landscape with Rider on White Horse
About the Artwork
The darkly shaded trees and turbulent sky introduce a romantic sentiment into this classical or ideal landscape in which a lone rider on horseback gallops through a deep space. The composition is organized into three clearly defined zones that recede from the path in the foreground, to the lake or river in the middle ground, to the distant rocky mountain and sea.
