“Frederic Sackrider Remington (October 4, 1861 – December 26, 1909)
Wikipedia says: “was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the Old American West, specifically concentrating on the last quarter of the 19th-century American West and images of cowboys, American Indians, and the U. S. Cavalry.”
Some of My Favorite Remingtons:
The Scout, Friends or FoesMounted Cowboy In Chaps With Race HorseA dash for the timberThe CowboyDowning the Nigh LeaderThe Bronco BusterComanche Brave, Fort Reno, Indian TerritoryFight for the waterhole
Coming to the callStampedeShotgun Hospitality, 1908End of the day
Howdy!
I love Westerns.
... and the intent of MyFavoriteWesterns.com is to celebrate Western Movies/Film - old and new.
This site will eventually show my top 30 favorite Westerns - or more. I will have original graphic work with regular updates.
All this - and more ...
Yee Haw ... !!

Remington is probably Garry’s favorite artist. One of my top 5 too. I used to have some signed prints — artist’s proofs — but I couldn’t afford to frame them properly. Professional framing is insanely expensive, especially if you are dealing with old prints that need museum-quality, acid-free, UV protective framing. So I gave them to a friend who could afford to take care of them. I wish I’d been able to keep them. Thanks for the fabulous pictures.
Amazing! I’m not sure I would have let them out of my sight. But preserving them was more important. Good for you.
I had a very good friend who was a framer. Might still be doing that. It’s kind of a Craft – and he was good. Yes, it’s expensive.
Glad Garry and you like this. I’m going to do something on Russel in the future.
Amazing stuff. You’re right – and I still see his influence in a lot of modern work. I plan to do a post on the equally famous Western artist, Charles Russel – whose work is often confused with Remingtons.

And thank you very kindly for the Reblog !
Your more than welcome, reminds me that I have so much to explore in this rich genre.
This is incredible. I had only seen Downing the Nigh Leader. Theres such energy in these paintings. You cannot deny their influence on the genre.
