EDITORS COMMENTS
This horse study by Johann Peter Krafft, created before 1828, offers a glimpse into the preparations for the Battle of Aspern-Essling, where Archduke Karl of Austria (later known as Emperor Charles I) led his troops against the French army under Napoleon Bonaparte. The meticulously detailed drawing, executed in pencil on paper with raised white, showcases the Archduke and his staff in the midst of their horses, their direct gaze and attentive posture suggesting the intensity and focus required during wartime. The Biedermeier period, characterized by a focus on domesticity and simplicity, is evident in the warm, monochrome color palette and the intimate, almost personal, portrayal of the subjects. This style, which contrasted the grandeur of the preceding Classicism, is well-represented in this work. The horse study is a testament to the artist's mastery of anatomy and his ability to capture the unique characteristics of each animal, from the intricacies of their hooves to the subtle curves of their muscles. The ivory tones of the horses' coats and the contrasting darker shades of their manes and tails add depth and texture to the drawing. As part of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere's extensive collection, this work is an invaluable piece of heritage art that offers a unique perspective on the historical events of the 19th century. The horse study not only serves as a reminder of the significance of the Battle of Aspern-Essling but also as a beautiful example of Biedermeier realism.
