The Rattlesnake 1905 - 1938

"The Rattlesnake," a bronze sculpture by Frederic Remington, depicts a cowboy struggling to stay mounted as his horse bucks violently. The piece captures the raw power and danger of the American West, a theme that Remington was known for throughout his career. The dynamic composition and realistic detail of the figures make "The Rattlesnake" a powerful and enduring example of American Western art. The sculpture is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
