Coming Through the Rye
American Bronze Reproduction
Frederic Remington (1861-1909) Coming Through the Rye, was Remington’s eighth bronze sculpture of 22 that were created. Copyrighted in 1902 it was his most ambitious bronze sculpture, his first effort in using more than two horses, and also his largest piece to date.
Coming through the Rye features four animated horses and riders in a composition remarkable for being largely elevated off the work’s base, with the leftmost horse completely suspended. Based on a drawing from the 1880s and apparently cast in an edition of less than twenty.
The artist described his sculpture as “four cowboys on running horses… men shooting pistols and shouting.” To Remington this scene represented a joyful experience of cowboy and horse having completed a strenuous cattle drive of weeks on the trail. The four men and horses have taken on with reckless abandonment and are frolicking in retirement from daily chores. This scene depicts the cowboys as they are riding in to enjoy a night on the town.
