Horse Thieves, by Frederic Remington
This same image is also known as The Stampede and Changing Hands.
American Painter and Sculptor, 1861-1909
During a career that spanned less than twenty-
five years, Frederic Remington produced a huge
body of work illustration, painting, sculpture,
fiction and non-fiction - the vast majority of it
centered on the West.
Remington was born in Canton, New York on
October 4, 1861. His boyhood fostered a lifelong
love of horses and the outdoors, while his father's
tales of action as a cavalry officer in the Civil
War inspired a passion for things military.
Frederic Remington's major paintings were
tributes to the Wild West of fantasy. They drew
on the artist's experiences for their sense of place
and authentic details, but on his imagination for
their subject matter.
By 1900 Remington began to experiment with
impressionism. His technique evolved
dramatically the last five years of his life as he
rejected the crisp linear illustrator style to
concentrate on mood, color and light - sunlight,
moonlight, and firelight. He died at the age of
48, a victim of an appendicitis.
