EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from Greek mythology, as depicted in an engraving by Abraham Jansz. van Diepenbeke. The image showcases the Marquess of Newcastle, William Cavendish, riding on the majestic Pegasus before an assembly of the Greek Gods. Published in Antwerp in 1658 as part of Cavendish's Riding Manual, this illustration is a testament to his passion for horsemanship and equestrian expertise. In this mythical gathering, the earthly horses pay homage to their noble counterpart as they salute him with reverence. The Marquess of Newcastle's distinguished presence commands attention and admiration from both mortals and immortals alike. Cavendish himself was not only a prominent writer but also a royalist army commander during the English Civil War. While residing in exile in the Low Countries, he penned his groundbreaking treatise on horsemanship titled "La Methode Nouvelle et Invention Extraordinaire de dresser les Chevaux". This influential work was published in Antwerp and beautifully engraved by Peeter Clouwet. Pegasus takes center stage here—a winged divine horse born from Poseidon's union with Medusa—symbolizing power, grace, and untamed freedom. As these legendary creatures convene amidst Mount Olympus' ethereal backdrop, fantasy intertwines with reality within this extraordinary artwork. This remarkable print transports us into a realm where mythological beings coexist with mortal riders—an enchanting fusion that celebrates both equestrian prowess and ancient lore.
