What a magnificent horse!
We can still feel the power within its burning eyes, bared teeth and kicking hooves.
He was born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty.
His artistic talent was discovered by the poet Wang Wei. He sponsored Han Gan to study painting and recommended him to a master. Due to Han Gan’s natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.
He frequently visited the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time in order to observe horses.
“The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.”
Han Gan’s horses “could gallop off the paper”.
