The Broncho Buster 1895 - 1918

Frederic Remington's iconic bronze sculpture, "The Broncho Buster," captures the raw energy and danger of the American West. The piece depicts a cowboy, clad in traditional attire, attempting to subdue a wild bronco, the horse rearing up in defiance. Remington, a renowned artist and illustrator of the American West, masterfully captures the struggle between man and beast, leaving the viewer to wonder who will ultimately prevail. This work, completed between 1895 and 1918, is a testament to Remington’s keen observation and ability to translate his artistic vision into three dimensions. "The Broncho Buster," now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a cherished symbol of the Wild West, a reminder of its enduring allure and the grit of the men who tamed it.
