The Belgian animal and landscape painter François Duyk showed a preference for painting horses. His oeuvre includes impressionistic landscape scenes with horses drawn in front of open carriages, sleighs and farm wagons, as well as horses under saddle in hunting scenes. Duyk shows a love for anecdotal detail. His performances were once described as 'charming and full of joie de vivre'. In the last two decades of the 19th century, Duyk regularly exhibited his work at exhibitions in Brussels and Ghent.
