The dramatic use of light and shadow was significant to Baroque art as well as reflective of emerging Dutch civic pride and the role of citizen militias in 17th-century Amsterdam

A Mexican Vaquero ☶ Remington ☰ Canvas moon the taste of the teaA Mexican Vaquero (1890) by Frederic Remington depicts a vaquero, a Mexican horseman similar to the American cowboys, sitting on his horse, outlined by the pale blue sky. A trip to Mexico in 1889 provided Remington with a wealth of firsthand material for paintings and illustrations that were created later in his New York studio.
