EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Seat and Posture of the Manege (top) and The Horse Walking on the Volte to the Right (bottom)" by Thomas Butler, a renowned artist from Pall Mall who flourished during 1750-59. Measuring an impressive 210x70 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is held in a private collection. Inspired by John Vanderbank's drawings published in Josephus Sympson's book "25 Actions of the Manage Horse" in 1729, Butler skillfully captures the essence of horsemanship and fashionable costume prevalent during that era. The rococo framing adds an exquisite touch to this equestrian artwork. The painting portrays a masterful display of dressage exercise as an equestrian expert effortlessly maintains perfect posture while riding atop a magnificent horse. The trompe l'oeil technique employed by Butler creates an illusion so realistic that it almost deceives our eyes into believing we are witnessing this remarkable scene firsthand. Displayed proudly at London's prestigious Gavin Graham Gallery, this English masterpiece evokes admiration for both its artistic brilliance and historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the grace and elegance of horsemanship during the Rococo period.
