Resting horses

Franz Marc’s ‘Resting Horses,’ created in 1912, exemplifies Expressionist art with its stark monochrome palette and bold lines conveying emotion over realism. Inspired by Van Gogh and rooted in spiritual contemplation, this woodcut depicts two horses resting peacefully amidst circles—a testament to Marc's fascination with animals as emblems of innocence and harmony.
