An oil on canvas by Spanish painter George Corominas who was born in 1945. He created design for Monaco’s 60 cent stamp, and is known for his portrait of Pope John Paul II which hangs in the Vatican Museum.

His paintings are enchanting and often evoke ancient times, if not simply the beautiful and the mysterious. He is celebrated for the accuracy of his drawings, the diversity of his subjects, the use of vivid color, and clearly here; very precise lines.

The meaning of a white horse breaking through its bridle is universal enough, but the colors (red, black, white, and pale) would be a reference to the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The rider on the red horse is a slave to emotion, the black would symbolize one whose intellect is developed to the cold exclusion of everything else, and the rider on the pale horse is lost in hedonism. The true, victorious and spiritual self, the rider on the white horse in the parable, is free from these colors and stands in the light.
