这本精美的礼品书犹如一场跨越三个世纪的艺术疾驰，探索了艺术与马之间不断变化且引人入胜的关系。

自古以来，马便在全球各地的艺术作品中频频出现，常被描绘为战场上的战马、交通工具，或是赛马、狩猎、育种等场景中的主角。从文化层面来看，马在世界各地都具有重要意义。

本书旨在探索以马及马术为主题的艺术作品漫长而丰富的历史轨迹，从历史上马作为战斗工具或农业劳动力的描绘，到现代艺术中马作为野性与力量象征的隐喻，再到当下对赛马与育种的痴迷，无一不包。

本书深入剖析了过去260年间（主要为西方艺术）的五十多件艺术作品，展现了人类与马之间不断变化且引人入胜的关系，从乔治·斯塔布斯（George Stubbs）的古典绘画到罗兹·英格利士（Rose English）的颠覆性女性主义表演艺术，应有尽有。

Galloping through three centuries of art, this beautiful gift book explores the changing and fascinating relationship between art and horses.

Horses have appeared in works of art throughout history and across the globe, frequently as depictions of the horse in battle, as a form of transportation or within the settings of racing, hunting or breeding. Culturally, the horse is significant across the world.

This book seeks to explore the long and rich trajectory of art focusing on horses and equestrian art from their historic use in battle or as tools in agricultural labour up to their representation as an allegory for wildness and power in modern art to the current fascination with horse racing and breeding.

Offering in-depth explorations of over fifty artworks from the last 260 years mostly in western art, it explores the changing and fascinating relationship we have had with horses, from the classical paintings of George Stubbs to the subversive feminist performances of Rose English.
