Original Description
Frederic Remington's Five-Foot Hurdle Bareback captures the raw energy and exhilaration of the American frontier with masterful dynamism. This iconic bronze sculpture, created in 1906, portrays a cowboy skillfully riding bareback as his horse leaps over a hurdle—an electrifying moment frozen in time. Remington, renowned for his depictions of the Old West, imbues the piece with meticulous anatomical precision and a sense of unbridled movement, hallmark traits of his late-career sculptural works. Cast using the lost-wax technique, the artwork reflects his transition from painter to sculptor, solidifying his legacy as a pivotal figure in Western art. Its historical significance lies in its romanticized yet authentic portrayal of cowboy culture during a period of rapid modernization, making it a cherished artifact of Americana. Today, Remington’s works are celebrated in major institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, embodying the mythos of the Wild West with enduring artistic finesse.
For a striking interior accent, Five-Foot Hurdle Bareback thrives in spaces that echo its rustic vigor and timeless appeal. Ideal for a study, lodge-style living room, or executive office, the sculpture pairs beautifully with rich wood furniture, leather upholstery, and Navajo-patterned textiles to amplify its Western essence. Opt for warm, earthy tones—deep browns, burnt oranges, or muted greens—to harmonize with its bronze patina, while directional lighting can enhance its dramatic contours. Given its relatively compact size (approximately 16 inches tall), it commands attention without overwhelming, making it perfect for shelves, mantels, or as a desk centerpiece. For a modern contrast, place it against minimalist backdrops with neutral walls, allowing its intricate detail to pop. Whether in a traditional or contemporary setting, Remington’s masterpiece injects historical gravitas and frontier spirit into any curated space.
