EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 642. Jumping a Hurdle; Saddle; Rider, 105, Nude; Gray Mare" captures a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Taken by Eadweard Muybridge in 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases the early stages of motion picture sequence photography. In this particular frame, we witness an exhilarating display of athleticism and grace. A skilled rider, completely nude to emphasize the purity of movement and connection with nature, fearlessly guides her majestic gray mare over a hurdle. The intensity on their faces is palpable as they conquer the obstacle together. Muybridge's scientific approach to capturing movement revolutionized the field of photography and provided invaluable insights into animal locomotion. This image serves as both a study in motion and an artistic representation of equestrian prowess. The composition highlights the strength and elegance inherent in horse riding while showcasing the seamless coordination between horse and rider during such intense moments. It is a testament to human-animal harmony achieved through years of training and trust-building. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this photograph continues to inspire awe among viewers today. Its timeless beauty transcends its historical context, reminding us that art can capture fleeting moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
