Lot Essay
Dieses Pferd, ein eher seltenes Sujet im Œuvre Amiets, entnahm Cuno Amiet einer Komposition Frank Buchsers (1828-1890), ebenfalls ein Solothurner Maler und sein Lehrer, dem Amiet das erste Mal 1884 begegnete. Die besondere Farbigkeit der Pferde in Buchsers Werk animierten ihn, ein ebenso elegantes und anmutiges Tier als Einzelwerk zu schaffen.
This horse, an unusual subject in Amiet’s œuvre, was inspired by a painting by Frank Buchser (1828-1890), who was also a painter from Solothurn and Amiet's teacher whom he met for the first time in 1884. The colourfulness of the horse in Buchser’s work animated him to create a painting of a creature equally elegant and graceful.
