Horse Frightened by a Thunderstorm or White Horse Frightened by a Thunderstorm[1] is a watercolour on paper work by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix painted sometime between 1824 and 1829, most probably in 1824.[2]
Showing a horse frightened by lightning beside the seashore, it was probably inspired by Théodore Géricault's Isabelle the Horse Frightened by A Thunderstorm (National Gallery, London), painted during that artist's stay in England.[3] Delacroix gave his watercolour to Baron Schwiter.[4] In 1934 the art collector Pál Majovszky donated it to the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, though it was loaned for the 1963 Paris exhibition on the centenary of Delacroix's death.[5]
