The Stampede, 1908, oil on canvas, 26½ x 39³/₈”. Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma, GM 01.2329.
In one of Frederic Remington’s most famous works, The Stampede, the New York painter shows the raw power and ferocity of the cowboy’s two beasts—horse and cow—as well as nature itself. The work was painted in 1908 and bought directly from Remington by Ray L. Skofield, a stock broker, horseman and aviation enthusiast from California. The image, following Remington’s death in 1909, would go on to appear in a 1911 issue of Collier’s Weekly. Today it is in the collection of the Gilcrease Museum. It will appear in the upcoming exhibition Natural Forces: Winslow Homer and Frederic Remington, opening March 15, 2020, at the Denver Art Museum. —
