Late Chinese painter Xu Beihong's heroic horses

A current exhibition in Beijing, China called A Master And His Masters displays 60 of Xu Beihong's pictures.

Galloping with the vigour of strong and simple brush strokes, the horses painted by late Chinese master Xu Beihong inspired his countrymen in wartime, and now, to pay huge sums to treasure them.
