“EQUUS ROYALE”

2018

Dimensions: 75” X 75”

Medium: Axalta Cromax AT on Aluminum

Artist: Peter Maier

In Equus Royale, Maier doesn’t just paint a horse—he enshrines it. Bathed in amber and mahogany tones, the stallion appears sculpted from oil and flame. There’s an opulence here that’s impossible to ignore—an aristocratic air embodied in the sheen of the coat, the elegant tack, the lowered gaze. This isn’t a portrait of power in motion—this is a study in reverence and control.

The horse becomes a metaphor: a vessel of legacy and restraint. And through Maier’s exacting use of automotive pigments and aluminum, the viewer is drawn not just into the animal’s presence, but into the artist’s obsessive pursuit of light and depth.

For collectors, equestrians, or those simply drawn to grandeur rendered with humility, Equus Royale offers an enduring encounter with discipline made beautiful.
