漢代陶馬是中國古代藝術中的一個重要品種，體現了漢代人對馬匹的崇敬與藝術表現的精湛技藝。這些陶馬通常以紅陶或灰陶製成，形狀生動，造型精緻，展示了當時工匠的高超技巧。

這件來自哈佛大學藝術博物館的經典漢代紅彩陶馬，屬於紐約藝術經銷商藍理捷（J.J. Lally）舊藏。此陶馬形態生動，表現出前蹄輕觸地面，呈現出一種穩定而安詳的姿態，堪稱漢代陶馬中的精品。

這件陶馬與另一件同類作品——曾由已故著名建築師貝聿銘收藏的陶馬相似，貝聿銘作為享譽國際的建築師，對中國古代藝術品的熱愛深厚，他的收藏不僅反映了他對中國傳統文化的敬仰，也為研究古代藝術與當代藝術的家居陳設融合提供了寶貴的實物資料。

這些陶馬的形態精緻，表現了漢代對馬匹的崇敬，並展示了當時工藝的高超水平。無論是細緻的鬃毛、尾巴，還是陶馬的表情，都顯示出工匠的精湛技藝。

Han Dynasty pottery horses are significant elements in ancient Chinese art, reflecting the Han people's reverence for horses and their exquisite artistic craftsmanship. These horses are typically made from red or gray clay, with lively and detailed forms that demonstrate the high skills of the artisans of the time. The iconic Han Dynasty red-painted pottery horse in the Harvard University Art Museum's collection comes from the J.J. Lally collection in New York. This piece shows a dynamic and graceful posture, with its front hooves gently touching the ground, embodying a serene and stable stance, making it a representative example of Han Dynasty pottery horses.

This pottery horse closely resembles another piece from the collection of the late renowned architect Ieoh Ming Pei. Pei, a world-famous architect, had a deep passion for Chinese ancient art, and his collection not only reflects his admiration for traditional Chinese culture but also provides invaluable physical material for the study of ancient Chinese art.

By examining Pei's collection, particularly his Han Dynasty pottery horses, one can gain a deeper understanding of the historical significance and artistry of these objects. These horses are intricately crafted, demonstrating the Han people's reverence for horses and showcasing the superior craftsmanship of the time. The fine details of the mane, tail, and facial expressions of the pottery horses highlight the remarkable skill of the artisans.
