The Rattlesnake
Of all his bronzes, this was Frederic Remington’s favorite. “The Rattlesnake” is a dynamic achievement of action, danger and Realism permanently suspended in motion. The lean and quick rider lifted out of the saddle, clenches the reins and holds firm his hat with the other hand, as his horse rears away from the rattlesnake just a pulse away.
Attention to symmetry and scrupulous detail are effective in this striking bronze. During his term of office, President Ronald Reagan bestowed several bronze castings of “The Rattlesnake” on official visitors to the United States, including one to Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev.
