EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "The Rider Fixing his Curb in its Place before he Mounts" by Thomas Butler. Painted around 1750, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 210x70 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Inspired by drawings from John Vanderbank and published in Josephus Sympson's book "25 Actions of the Manage Horse" in 1729, Butler skillfully captures the essence of horsemanship and fashionable costume during the rococo era. The painting depicts a masterful equestrian preparing to mount his horse, meticulously adjusting the curb before taking off on his ride. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element comes to life through trompe l'oeil technique. From the intricate stirrups to the elegant tricorn hat worn by the rider, each stroke of paint transports us back to this enchanting period. Displayed alongside another work titled "The Scholar Placed in his Seat without Styrrops" attributed to Butler as well, this print offers a glimpse into both equestrian pursuits and scholarly endeavors of that time. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images for preserving this extraordinary piece of art history. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and allows us all to appreciate the mastery behind these timeless paintings.
