#334: Guest Artist: Joseph Wright of Derby
“Two men forming a bar of iron in to a horseshoe - from whence the light must proceed… Out of this room, shall be seen another, in which a farrier may be shoeing a horse by the light of a candle. The horse must be saddled and traveller standing by… this will be an indication of an accident having happen’d, & shew some reason for shoeing the horse by candlelight - the Moon may appear and illuminate some part of the horse if necessary.”
From this excerpt from his notes, imagine the painting that Joseph Wright of Derby went on to create. Then find the painting to see what he did and how it differs from what you imagined.
