This work displays a flattened, dreamlike narrative space, typical of his mid-career output. A mounted figure in a pointed hat sits atop a brown horse, while a pale, spectral horse occupies the foreground alongside a winding snake. The composition is contained within an organic, ochre-toned shape that floats against a deep red background, suggesting a celestial or otherworldly setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrauner frequently drew upon esoteric traditions, folklore, and personal mythology. The figures here possess a schematic, almost primitive quality, eschewing realistic anatomical proportions in favour of symbolic clarity. The stark contrast between the warm, earthy tones of the central motif and the intense red of the surrounding field creates a sense of psychological tension. The snake, a recurring motif in Brauner's work, often represents transformation or hidden knowledge. By removing the scene from a conventional temporal or spatial context, the artist invites the viewer to engage with the image as a fragment of a private, internal logic rather than a literal depiction of a historical event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece reflects the artist's interest in the intersection of the subconscious and the visual arts. His approach to painting during this period often involved a deliberate simplification of form, allowing the symbolic weight of the subjects to take precedence over technical naturalism. The resulting image functions as a visual riddle, where the relationship between the rider, the horses, and the serpent remains intentionally ambiguous. It is a characteristic example of how Brauner utilised painting to map the terrain of his own imagination, creating works that operate outside the boundaries of rational interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-sonata-of-the-moon-sabin-balasa\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Sonata of the Moon by Sabin Balasa\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-seniors-sabin-balasa\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Seniors by Sabin Bălașa\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Victor Brauner","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131294646607,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131300446543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131300479311,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131300512079,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131300544847,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131300577615,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131300610383,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131300643151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131300675919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131300708687,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131300741455,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131300774223,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Knight-White-Horse-and-Snake_Poster_CompositorV1_1792116350462.jpg?v=1792138035","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/products\/knight-white-horse-and-snake-victor-brauner","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
