Destrier
The Destrier the best-known war horse of the medieval era. It carried knights in battles, tournaments and jousts. It was described by contemporary sources as the Great Horse, due to its significance.
This painting is in oils on canvas, using classical techniques. The joy of painting this era is the detail of the livery and their colours. The horse's movement was also a pleasure to paint and capture, as was the knight on his charge.
