Ridden Down

"Ridden Down" by Frederic Sackrider Remington is a powerful genre painting capturing a dramatic moment in Western American history. Executed in oil paints, the scene depicts a fallen cowboy, highlighting Remington’s mastery of dynamic motion and rugged realism. While rooted in Western themes, Remington's style also shows subtle influences of Impressionism, particularly in the use of light and brushwork. His works often portray iconic figures like cowboys, Native Americans, and the US Cavalry, emphasizing the raw, gritty essence of the American West during the late 19th century.
