Horses - L'Ecurie du Pin HORSE PAINTING BY THE ANIMAL ARTIST LAURENCE SAUNOIS
This painting depicts a scene from daily life at the Haras national du Pin, France's oldest and most prestigious national stud farm. Founded in 1715 by Louis XIV and Colbert, the Haras du Pin has been dubbed the "Versailles of the horse" for its elegant architecture and role in equestrian breeding. The Haras has known moments of glory and crisis, depending on the vagaries of history and the needs of the army, agriculture or leisure. Today, the Haras is a tourist and cultural venue, offering tours, shows, exhibitions and competitions based around the horse.
"Dare Dare", Quick Analysis of a Work of Art:
In my youth, I visited the Haras du Pin in Normandy. The place was majestic. In the middle of the straw, the walls and the old racks, the big stable was home to a heavy breed of horses: the Percheron. It is in this particular atmosphere that I represented the round and dappled rumps of these work horses. This is one of my first acrylic paintings.
It was one of the five paintings that allowed me to become a member of the very prestigious Society of Animal Artists in the USA.
