The Remuda 2015

"The Remuda" (2015) by Mark Maggiori depicts a lone cowboy on horseback herding a group of horses, or "remuda," through a vast, arid landscape. The scene is likely set in the American Southwest, as evidenced by the towering sandstone cliffs, characteristic of the region. Maggiori's masterful use of light and shadow, particularly in the dramatic cloud formations, creates a sense of depth and scale. This artwork, with its focus on the Western way of life, is a testament to Maggiori's skill in depicting both the grandeur of nature and the grit of human endeavor.
