{"product_id":"ridden-down-frederic-remington","title":"Ridden Down - Frederic Remington","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1905 oil painting by Frederic Remington depicting a weary horse and its rider on a sun-drenched, arid plateau in the American West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrederic Remington painted Ridden Down in 1905, a period when his work shifted from the illustrative style of his earlier career towards a more atmospheric and painterly approach. The composition depicts a Native American warrior standing beside an exhausted horse on a high, arid plateau. The animal is visibly spent, its coat darkened by sweat, reflecting the physical toll of the pursuit suggested by the distant figures in the lower right corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemington uses a palette dominated by ochre, sand, and pale blue to convey the harsh, sun-drenched environment of the American West. The vast, empty space surrounding the figures emphasises their isolation. Unlike his earlier, action-oriented scenes, this work focuses on a moment of stillness and exhaustion. The horse, with its head lowered and body strained, serves as the primary subject, while the warrior remains a stoic presence beside it. The distant, blurred shapes of other riders provide context for the scene, implying a narrative of flight or pursuit without needing explicit detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the painting demonstrates Remington's mastery of light and shadow. The sharp, dark shadow cast by the horse against the bright, parched earth provides a strong contrast that anchors the figures within the composition. The brushwork is looser than in his earlier illustrations, showing the influence of Impressionist techniques on his later output. This piece captures a specific, quiet moment in the mythology of the frontier, moving away from the romanticised depictions common in the era to offer a more somber observation of the realities of life on the plains. It remains a representative example of his later period, where the focus shifted toward the psychological and physical weight of the subjects he documented throughout his career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederic Remington","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58360457527631,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58360465949007,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58360465981775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58360466014543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58360466047311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58360466080079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58360466112847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58360466145615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58360466178383,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58360466211151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58360466243919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58360466276687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ridden-Down_Poster_CompositorV1_1785532400921.jpg?v=1785532578","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/ridden-down-frederic-remington","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
