Bestowed to the museum in 1908<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a Mediterranean landscape stands an old and worn-out horse, tied to a pole. A majestic mountain landscape fans out across the background under a clear blue sky. Besides being an animal study, the title of this work also refers to Don Quixote\u2019s horse, Rosinante, who like its master was worn-out, awkward and possessed a tendency to overestimate its own capacity. Marstrand often highlighted these comical traits in his depictions of the adventurous knight\u2019s horse. Satire was not the motive in this work, however. Instead, Marstrand takes a distinctly naturalistic approach to the subject here, where everything from the horse\u2019s muscles to its bone structure has been reproduced with great precision and accuracy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wilhelm Marstrand (1810-1873)<\/strong><br \/>\nMarstrand was among C.W. Eckersberg\u2019s students and was, as the only one, very interested in narrative and illustrative painting. Marstrand worked with genre painting, literary subjects, portraiture and, in later years, history painting. He was frequently employed as a portraitist and painted a series of portraits of members of the Hage family, among others. Marstrand travelled throughout his life in the larger European countries such as Italy, France, Germany and England. He was particularly fascinated by Italy, where he stayed for several years. From here, he became a major producer of peculiar, touching, and often humorous or ironic depictions of the Italian folk life that so fascinated him.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Translator: The <\/em><em>translation agency <\/em><em>Diction\u00a0\u2013 <\/em><em>J.
