In 1906, the Cincinnati Art Museum held its annual art exhibit. Included in that exhibit was Farny’s The Coming of the Fire Horse, according to an article in the July 15, 1906, issue of the Cincinnati Tribune, pg23. It’s the only painting he showed during the exhibit.
This indicates the Fire Horse painting was completed by the summer of 1906. The date currently attached to the painting by the Cincinnati Art Museum is ‘Circa 1910‘, as the painting itself is not dated. Hopefully, the museum will take a closer look at this issue.
