Take your mind into another time 💆‍♂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Unknown Explorers is a study in sunlight and shadow - perfectly relevant in these uncertain times.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rather than riding into darkness, a party of explorers emerges from the shadows into dazzling sunlight. The glare of the sun, so harsh that it temporarily blinds the mountain men, effectively conveys the emotion of riding into the unknown.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A world of unseen perils is opening up before them. From the alert posture of Remington's "unknown explorers," one can conclude that locating the next waterhole will be the least of their worries.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Frederic Remington | The Unknown Explorers | 1908 | Oil on canvas
