Original artwork description
THE CONQUE HORSE is an acrylic painting on cotton canvas stretched over wood.
Part of the Medieval Bestiary series, it depicts a proud, low-legged blue horse accompanied by a sort of zany dog emerging from a strange, flower-tipped conch shell...
The late Middle Ages saw the emergence of illuminated manuscripts dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, featuring a large number of incredible chimeras, often with coarse but expressive features. Inspiring, these particularly zany oddities gave rise to the Bestiaire médiéval series, which recreates invented or reworked oddities in the style and hues of the period, on illuminated backgrounds just as imagined on the principle of old-fashioned tapestry-makers' cartoons, i.e. motifs of flowers or styles repeated here and there to furnish the painting.
