EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "How to Twist Your Neck" captures a moment of both danger and skill. Measuring 9.7x14.8 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. In this scene, we witness a fatal accident involving a rider on horseback. The artist's use of pen, red ink, and watercolor brings life to the chaotic event unfolding before our eyes. The horse gallops at full speed while its rider attempts an audacious maneuver that ultimately leads to tragedy. Rowlandson's attention to detail highlights the raw power and unpredictability of these magnificent animals. This print serves as a reminder of the risks involved when interacting with horses - accidents can happen even to skilled riders. The image also prompts us to reflect on our relationship with wildlife and farm animals alike. Horses have long been revered for their strength and beauty but are not exempt from accidents or mishaps. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both the artistry behind it and the cautionary tale it tells about human-animal interactions. Let it serve as a reminder that even in seemingly controlled situations, nature can still surprise us with its untamed force.
