AJ Munnings (8 October 1878–17 July 1959) is considered one of England's finest equine painters.
He was an opponent of Modernism, and the top landscape is probably too bucolic for contemporary tastes, but this is a beautifully composed and executed landscape. By painting the subject with the light coming from behind him, he is able to use the shadows of the animals to bring out their forms.
