EDITORS COMMENTS
Frisky Horses" is an enchanting oil painting by Danish artist Hans Michael Therkildsen, created between 1865 and 1887. This work of art transports us back to the 19th century, where we find ourselves in a rustic barn setting, surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of rural life. The painting depicts a lively scene of farm animals, including horses, ducks, and dogs, all going about their daily business. In the foreground, a group of frisky horses are shown in various poses, some rearing up on their hind legs, others playfully nuzzling each other. Their energetic behavior is a testament to the boundless vitality of these magnificent creatures. In the background, we see a thatched barn, its timber frame and red tiles evoking a sense of warmth and shelter. The barn door is ajar, allowing a glimpse of the countryside beyond, where birds fly overhead and a farmer or farmhand can be seen in the distance, tending to his livestock or crops. The painting's rich color palette adds to its charm, with the warm tones of the barn and the cooler hues of the outdoors creating a harmonious contrast. Therkildsen's skillful brushstrokes bring each element of the scene to life, from the intricate details of the horses' coats to the delicate feathers of the waterfowl. This painting is a wonderful example of Danish regionalism, a movement that celebrated the beauty and simplicity of rural life. It is a testament to Therkildsen's deep connection to his agricultural heritage and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era. Today, "Frisky Horses" can be found in the collections of the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
