🐎 An Icelandic Horse Art Photographic Print
Iceland has a quality of light that is unlike anywhere else on earth — a quality that comes not from the dramatic, golden, low-angle light of the famous Icelandic sunsets and sunrises, but from the soft, diffuse, luminous light of an overcast sky, when the clouds act as a vast natural diffuser and the whole landscape is bathed in an even, gentle, shadowless illumination that reveals colour and texture and form with an extraordinary clarity and subtlety. It is in this light — the light that photographers seek out and wait for, the light that makes the coat of an Icelandic horse glow with a warmth and a richness that no amount of direct sunshine could produce — that this image was made. The Icelandic horse is one of the most distinctive and most characterful of all the world’s horse breeds — a compact, sturdy, thick-coated animal that has lived on this island for over a thousand years, brought here by the Norse settlers who arrived in the ninth century and kept pure ever since by the strict Icelandic laws that forbid the import of horses to the island. They are horses of extraordinary character and extraordinary beauty — curious, friendly, intelligent, and possessed of a quality of presence that makes them one of the most compelling and most rewarding of all wildlife and equine photography subjects. Two of them, photographed here in that gorgeous soft overcast Icelandic light, their coats glowing, their expressions alert and curious, their whole bearing conveying the quiet confidence of animals entirely at home in one of the most dramatic and most beautiful landscapes on the planet. This wildlife photography print captures that extraordinary encounter with remarkable intimacy — a piece of wall art that brings the full, warm, characterful beauty of the Icelandic horse into any room, and a home decor statement and artwork that is bold, atmospheric, and deeply evocative of the extraordinary natural world of Iceland.
One of our wildlife horse art prints: Two Icelandic Horses photographed during some gorgeous soft light in Iceland caused by a very overcast sky. The extraordinary quality of that diffuse Icelandic light — the way it falls on the horses’ coats with an evenness and a warmth that reveals every detail of their texture and their colour — gives this fine art equine photography print a richness and a subtlety that makes it one of the most atmospheric and most beautiful horse prints in the collection. Whether you are drawn to the extraordinary character and beauty of the Icelandic horse itself, the soft and luminous quality of the Icelandic overcast light, or simply the bold, warm, intimate power of this fine art equine and wildlife composition, this makes a truly exceptional gift for anyone who loves Iceland, horses, wildlife photography, or the extraordinary natural world of the North Atlantic.
