Kehinde Wiley's 2006 painting, "Prince Tommaso Francesco of Savoy-Carignano," is a contemporary take on the equestrian portrait genre. Wiley places a Black man, dressed in modern street clothing, in the traditional pose of a European nobleman, challenging societal norms and assumptions about power and representation. The vibrant colors and highly detailed brushstrokes create a striking image that simultaneously references historical tradition and contemporary reality.
