El montañés

Founder Cast by Roman Bronze Works
1903, cast by March 1907
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 765
Remington, cronista por antonomasia del Viejo Oeste americano, se ganó la estima del público con sus cuadros, ilustraciones, esculturas y escritos. El montañés ilustra un episodio dramático en la vida cotidiana de un trampero, que desciende a caballo por una pendiente casi vertical. Cargados con trampas para osos, hacha, petate y rifle, el hombre y su caballo intentan sortear el peligroso sendero escarpado. Al igual que las mejores estatuillas de Remington, este bronce presenta una rica variedad de texturas, desde la túnica de gamuza con flecos y el pelaje del animal hasta la base rocosa.
