Horses have appeared in works of art throughout history, although less frequently in modern times since the horse is no longer significant either as a mode of transportation or as an implement of war. Most modern representations are of famous racehorses or as artwork associated with horse racing.
Horses usually appear in artworks singly, as a mount for an important person, or in fours, coupled to a chariot.
For a large and complex painting in which a horse is the central dramatic figure, see Guernica (painting).
