I just watched a film about Muybridge on Amazon and it was so interesting. Until his photo studies, we really didn't know what a gallop looked like. Looking back at earlier war paintings with galloping horses, their legs are all splayed out like they're jumping over a hedge, but in reality they're curled up under the body when they're all off the ground.

He was an interesting character too. Definitely worth a watch.
